title: 4-Fluoro-anilinium tetra-chloridoferrate(III) 18-crown-6 clathrate.
abstract: The reaction of 4-fluoro-aniline hydro-chloride, 18-crown-6 and ferric chloride in methano-lic solution yields the title compound, (C(6)H(7)FN)[FeCl(4)]·C(12)H(24)O(6), which has an unusual supramolecular structure. N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the NH(3) (+) substituents of the 4-fluoro-anilinium cations and the O atoms of the crown ether mol-ecules result in a rotator-stator-like structure.
