title: cis-Bis(2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')dichlorido-iron(III) perchlorate.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [FeCl(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]ClO(4), the coordination around the Fe(III) atom is approximately octa-hedral. The equatorial positions are occupied by two N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands [Fe-N = 2.121 (5) and 2.147 (5) Å] and two Cl atoms [Fe-Cl = 2.220 (2) and 2.2074 (18) Å]. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions consolidate the crystal packing.
