title: Crystal structure of di-chlorido-{2-[(2-hy-droxyeth-yl)(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino]-ethano-lato-κ(4) N,N',O,O'}iron(III) dihydrate from synchrotron data.
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C10H15N2O2)Cl2]·2H2O, the Fe(III) ion is coordinated by two N and two O atoms of the tetra-dentate 2-{(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amino}-ethano-late ligand and by two chloride anions, resulting in a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. The average Fe-X (X = ligand N and O atoms) and Fe-Cl bond lengths are 2.10 and 2.32 Å, respectively. In the crystal, duplex O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl and eth-oxy groups of two neighbouring complexes give rise to a dimeric unit. The dimers are connected to the lattice water mol-ecules (one of which is equally disordered over two sets of sites) through O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming undulating sheets parallel to (010). Weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also observed.
