title: (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octa-ethyl-por-phin-ato)(trifluoro-methane-sulfonato)iron(III).
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(CF(3)O(3)S)(C(36)H(44)N(4))], is an iron(III) porphyrin complex with the trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anion as an axial ligand. The Fe atom is displaced by 0.219 (2) Å toward the trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anion from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin, resulting in a distorted FeN(4)O square-based pyramidal geometry. One ethyl-ene group is disordered over two orientations in a 0.502 (6):0.498 (6) ratio.
