Tris[2-(2-oxazolin-2-yl)phenolato]iron(III).
The title compound, tris[2-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl-kappa N)phenolato-kappa O]iron(III), [Fe(C(9)H(8)NO(2))(3)], is disordered over a non-crystallographic twofold rotation axis perpendicular to the crystallographic threefold rotation axis. The disorder can be a pure rotational disorder of an iron complex in the facial configuration, or the consequence of a mixture of facial and meridional configurations. In the latter case, at least 25% of the iron complexes must adopt the facial configuration in order to obtain the disorder ratio observed in the crystal.
