A mononuclear iron(II) complex, [Fe(phen)3][PF6]2 [tris(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N, N′)iron(II) tris(hexafluoridophosphate)], was synthesized, and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c and Z = 8 with cell parameters a = 36.529(4)Å, b = 15.8597(16)Å, c = 11.7747(12)Å, β = 100.528(2)°, V = 6706.7(12)Å3. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values were 0.0631 and 0.1787, respectively, for all 8068 independent reflections. Despite the symmetrical tris(1,10-phenanthroline) environment, the symmetry around the iron(II) ion was rather low with a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
