Crystal structure of bis­(benzyl­amine-κN)[5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-chloro­phen­yl)porphyrinato-κ(4) N]iron(II) n-hexane monosolvate

In the title compound, [Fe(II)(C(44)H(24)Cl(4)N(4))(C(6)H(5)CH(2)NH(2))(2)]·C(6)H(14) or [Fe(II)(TPP-Cl)(BzNH(2))(2)]·n-hexane [where TPP-Cl and BzNH(2) are 5,10,15,20-tetra­kis­(4-chloro­phen­yl)porphyrinate and benzyl­amine ligands, respectively], the Fe(II) cation lies on an inversion centre and is octa­hedrally coordinated by the four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin ligand in the equatorial plane and by two amine N atoms of the benzyl­amine ligand in the axial sites. The crystal structure also contains one inversion-symmetric n-hexane solvent mol­ecule per complex mol­ecule. The average Fe—N(pyrrole) bond length [1.994 (3) Å] indicates a low-spin complex. The crystal packing is sustained by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions and by C—H⋯π inter­molecular inter­actions, leading to a three-dimensional network structure.
