1,3-Bis(1-adamant-yl)imidazolium tetra-chloridoferrate(III).

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(23)H(33)N(2))[FeCl(4)], consists of 1,3-bis-(1-adamant-yl)imidazolium (BAIM) cations and tetra-hedral tetra-chloridoferrate(III) (TCF) anions. The BAIM cation possesses m symmetry, with the central imidazole ring and four C atoms of each terminal adamantyl group located on a mirror plane. The Fe and two Cl atoms of the TCF anion are also located on the mirror plane. The cyclo-hexane rings of the adamantyl groups adopt normal chair conformations.
