%X The title compound, FeCl<sub>4</sub>(C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>)(C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)
consists of two [(C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>) (C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)]<sup>+</sup> organic cations and [FeCl<sub>4</sub>]<sup>-</sup> anion. The geometry of the iron ion is tetrahedral, formed
by four chlorine atoms. The complex was characterized by single crystal X-ray
diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and
UV-Visible spectroscopy. Hirshfeld surface analysis was also used for understanding the intermolecular
interactions in the crystal packing. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis
indicates that this complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, P2<sub>1</sub>/c space
group with a = 7.598 (3) &amp;#197;, b = 13.694 (4) &amp;#197;, c = 17.105 (5) &amp;#197;, <i>¦Â</i><i> </i>= 97.203 (6)¡ã V = 1765.7 (10) &amp;#197;<sup>3</sup> and Z = 4. The [FeCl<sub>4</sub>]<sup>-</sup> anion and [(C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>)(C<sub>5</sub>N<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)]<sup>+</sup> cations are linked through three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network
consisting of N-H...Cl and ¦Ð-¦Ð interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis
and the related 2D fingerprint plots reveal that the complex is dominated by
N-H...Cl contacts.
