title: Self-assembly of a one-dimensional iron(II) coordination polymer with p-phenylenebis(picolinaldimine).
abstract: catena-Poly[[[dichloridoiron(II)]-mu-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethylene)benzene-1,4-diamine] methanol disolvate], [FeCl(2)(C(18)H(14)N(4))].2CH(3)OH, forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer. The polymeric chains run parallel to the c axis. O-H...Cl-Fe and C-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions with methanol solvent molecules stabilize the open supramolecular framework. Each Fe(II) atom adopts an octahedral geometry coordinated by four N atoms from two N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethylene)benzene-1,4-diamine ligands and completed by two cis Cl atoms. The compound has C(2) (and C(i)) molecular symmetry, which is coincident with the crystallographic twofold symmetry at (0, y, 1/4). The one-dimensional structure is propagated via the crystallographic inversion center located at the benzene ring centroid (0, 1/2, 0).
