Crystal Structure of a Mononuclear Iron(III) Complex, Hexakis(dimethylsulfoxide-κO)iron(III) Tris(hexafluoridophosphate)

Abstract

X-ray method. The compound crystallized in the trigonal space group R 3 and Z = 3 with cell parameters a = 11.598(8)Å, c = 25.367(18)Å, V = 2955(4)Å 3 . The R 1 [ I > 2 σ ( I )] and wR 2 (all data) values were 0.0509 and 0.1565, respectively, for all 1630 independent reflections. The symmetry of the complex cation was found to belong to the S 6 point group, possessing a trigonally compressed octahedral coordination geometry with an O 6 donor set.
