Abstract
IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction study are carried out for compound, C36H112Cl9Fe3N18O8P6(I). It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 14.2992(3), b = 21.4351(4), c = 25.5407(5) Å, V = 7828.3(3) Å3, ρcalcd = 1.553 g/cm3, Z = 4. The FeCl fragment is coordinated with chlorine atom of two water molecules and three HMPA molecules to form a cation, with a distorted octahedral coordinate geometry. In the crystal I, the cation is linked with HMPA by the O-H…O hydrogen bond. The chiral crystal is formed through self-assembly even from achiral molecules.
