A new mononuclear neutral high-spin iron(III) complex with the different tridentate ligands 5-bromo­salicyl­aldehyde (pyridin-2-yl)hydrazone and 5-bromo­salicyl­aldehyde thio­semicarbazone

The title neutral mononuclear complex, [1-(5-bromo-2-oxido­benzyl­idene)thio­semicarbazidato](4-bromo-2-{[2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazinyl­idene]meth­yl}pheno­lato)iron(III), [Fe(C(8)H(6)BrN(3)OS)(C(12)H(9)BrN(3)O)] (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C (2)/c and has two different planar tridentate ligands. The central Fe(III) ion is coordinated to three N, two O and one S atom, forming a distorted octa­hedral FeN(3)O(2)S coordination geometry. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions into layers parallel to (100). Magnetic measurements show that the central Fe(III) ion is in the high-spin state; this is also supported by the bond distances around the Fe(III) ion.
