trans-Bis{2-[bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole}iron(II) bis(perchlorate) acetonitrile disolvate

Abstract

In the structure of the title complex, [Fe(C15H14N6)2](ClO4)2·2C2H3N, the asymmetric unit contains one complete ligand molecule, one perchlorate and one acetonitrile solvent molecule. The iron(II) atom, situated on an inversion centre, is surrounded by six nitrogen atoms from two ligands in an octahedral coordination sphere in which the two benzimidazole units adopt a trans-configuration. The crystal structure is stablized by extensive weak C—H...O and C—H...N interactions.
