✦ Synopsis

The crystal structure of anhydrous bis(acetylacetonato)iron(II) has been determined by X-ray diffaction. The crystal is monoclinic with space group P2,/c, a = 14.95(2), b =8.51(l), c = 19.03(2) A, and p = 105.1(I)", with four dimeric molecules in the unit cell. The final R value is 0.109 for data from 1365 counter-collected reflections. In the dimeric molecules an octahedrally coordinated Fe atom is linked through three shared oxygen atoms to the second iron atom located within a square pyramid. The Fe-Fe distance is 3.028 A There are two different groups of Fe-O distances, with average values of 2.04 and 2.25 A The bond lengths and angles of the chelating ligands are almost the same as previously reported values.
