Chlorido-[5,10,15,20-tetra-kis-(quinoline-7-carboxamido)-porphinato]iron(III)

The title compound, [Fe(C84H52N12O4)Cl], crystallizes in space group C2/c. The central FeIII cation (site symmetry 2) is coordinated in a fivefold manner, with four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin core in the basal sites and one Cl atom (site symmetry 2) in the apical position, which completes a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment. The porphyrin macrocycle shows a characteristic ruffled-shape distortion and the iron atom is displaced out of the porphyrin plane by 0.42 Å with the average Fe-N distance being 2.054 (4) Å; the Fe-Cl bond length is 2.2042 (7) Å. Inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur in the crystal structure.
