Chloridobis{N-[(dimethyl-amino)dimethyl-silyl]-2,6-dimethyl-anilido-κN,N'}iron(III).

ABSTRACT: The title iron(III) compound, [Fe(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)(2)Cl], is monomeric. The Fe atom is N,N'-chelated by the N-silylated anilide ligand. The two ligands around the Fe atom are arranged trans to each other. The Fe-N(amino) bond is longer than the Fe-N(anilide) bond by about 0.37 Å. The mol-ecule displays a pseudo-twofold rotation. The five-coordinate Fe atom demonstrates a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry.
