2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium tetra-chloridoferrate(III) methanol monosolvate.

In the title compound, (C₁₄H₁₃N₂)[FeCl₄]·CH₃OH, the 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium cation, FeCl₄ ⁻ anion and methanol solvent mol-ecule lie on a twofold rotation axis. Due to symmetry, the H atom on the N atom of the cation is half-occupied. In the anion, the Fe(III) atom has a tetra-hedral geometry. H atoms of the methanol mol-ecule are disordered over two sets of sites around the twofold axis. In the crystal, π-π contacts between the pyridine rings and between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.6535 (16) and 3.5522 (17) Å] and inter-molecular O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure.
