The title compound, [Fe(C(10)H(12)NO)(3)], is isostructural with its Co(III)-containing analogue. The Fe(III) cation is chelated by three Schiff base ligands via three N and three O atoms, and exhibits a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The longest Fe-O and Fe-N bonds lie trans to each other and may be regarded as axial bonds, while the equatorial plane contains two mutually trans O and two trans N atoms.
