Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Fe(C5H6ClO2)3], the FeIII cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six O atoms from three 3-chloropentane-2,4-dionate ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. Fe—O bond lengths are in the range 1.9818 (18)–1.9957 (18) Å. The trans O—Fe—O angles are 169.06 (13) and 171.54 (8)°, whereas the corresponding cis angles are in the range 84.81 (10)–100.68 (12)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H...Cl interactions.
