Crystal data for 7: C24H22FeN2O11, M = 570.29, orthorhombic, space group Pccn (no. 56), a = 35.927 (8), b = 11.434 (2), c = 14.182 (2) Å, U = 5826 (2) Å3, Z = 8, D c = 1.300 g cm-3, µ = 0.574 mm-1, T = 293 (2) K, λ = 0.71069 Å, 5112 reflections measured, 5112 independent, 343 parameters. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares on F 2. R 1 [I>2σ(I)] = 0.0547, wR 2 = 0.1807. Details of the crystal structure investigation have been deposited at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC 233245).
