Dichloro(methanol-kappa O)[(methoxy)tris(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methane-kappa N-2(3)]iron(II) (ca 153 K)

In the quasi-trigonal-bipyramidal environment of the five-coordinate Fe II atom in the title compound, [FeCl 2(C 14H 18N 6O)(CH 4O)], the methanol and one of the N-atom donors of the potentially tridentate ligand are disposed axially: Fe - N(axial) is 2.149 (2) Å, Fe-N(equatorial) is 2.108 (2) Å and N-Fe- O is 174.14 (7)°.
