title: Dinitro-sylbis[tris-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)phosphane]iron chloro-form monosolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(NO)(2)(C(18)H(12)F(3)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), belongs to the family of metal dinitrosyl compounds with the general formula Fe(NO)(2)(L)(x), referred to collectively as 'dinitrosyl iron compounds' (DNICs). Herein we report the structure of a dinitrosyl iron diphosphane complex, (Fe(NO)(2)L(2), with L = P(C(6)H(4)-p-F)(3). The structure includes one metal complex mol-ecule and one chloro-form solvent mol-ecule. The iron atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated with two phosphane ligands and with two NO groups with Fe-N-O angles of 178.1 (2) and 177.0 (2)°.
