title: Crystal structure of bis-(bis-{μ3-3-methyl-3-[(4-nitro-2-oxido-benzyl-idene)amino]-propane-1,3-diolato}tris-[chlorido-(dimethyl sulfoxide)-iron(III)]) dimethyl sulfoxide hepta-solvate dihydrate.
abstract: The title compound, [Fe3(C11H11N2O5)2Cl3(C2H6OS)3]2·7C2H6OS·2H2O, was isolated accidentally from an Fe0-NiCl2·6H2O-H3L-TEA-DMSO system [where H3Lis the product of the condensation betweenp-nitro-salicyl-aldehyde and 2-amino-2-methyl-propane-1,3-diol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and TEA is triethylamine]. The structure is based on a trinuclear {Fe3(μ-O)4} core, with an angular arrangement of the FeIIIions that can be explained by the geometrical restrictions of two bulky ligands, each coordinating to all of the metal cations.
