title: Bis[N-(2-pyridylcarbon-yl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]iron(III) perchlorate methanol solvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Fe(C(12)H(8)N(3)O(2))(2)]ClO(4)·CH(3)OH, the iron(III) ion is surrounded by two tridentate N-(2-pyridyl-carbon-yl)pyridine-2-carboximidate (bpca) ligands and exhib-its a distorted octa-hedral coordination by six bpca N atoms. A classical O-H⋯O hydrogen bond exists between the methanol solvent mol-ecule and the perchlorate anion. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated the complex to be in the low-spin state in the temperature range 5-400 K.
