Crystal structure of hexa-kis-(N,N-di-methyl-form-amide-κO)iron(III) μ-chlorido-bis-(tri-chlorido-cadmium).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Fe(C₃H₇NO)₆][Cd₂Cl₇], crystallizes in the trigonal space group R and is assembled from discrete [Fe(DMF)₆]³⁺ cations (DMF = N,N-di-methyl-formamide) and [Cd₂Cl₇]^3- anions. In the cation, the iron(III) atom, located on a special position of site symmetry, is coordinated by six oxygen atoms from DMF ligands with all Fe-O distances being equal [2.0072 (16) Å]. A slight distortion of the octa-hedral environment of the metal comes from the cis O-Fe-O angles deviating from the ideal value of 90° [86.85 (7) and 93.16 (7)°] whilst all the trans angles are strictly 180°. The central Cl atom of the [Cd₂Cl₇]^3-<
