Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, (NH4)2 [FeCl5(H2O)], has been redetermined by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction at 295 K and refined by full matrix least squares to a residual of 0·054 for 1662 ‘observed’ reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pnma, a 13·706(2), b 9·924(1), c 7·024(l) Å, Z 4. Fe-O is 2·110(4) Å Fe-Cl range between 2·323(1) Å (trans to OH2) and 2·350(l)-2·390(l) Å (cis), the latter distances being very dependent upon hydrogen-bonded interactions with nearby species.
