Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(6)ClO(2))(3)], the Fe(III) cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by six O atoms from three 3-chloro-pentane-2,4-dionate ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. Fe-O bond lengths are in the range 1.9818 (18)-1.9957 (18) Å. The trans O-Fe-O angles are 169.06 (13) and 171.54 (8)°, whereas the corresponding cis angles are in the range 84.81 (10)-100.68 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
