A mononuclear iron(III) complex, [Fe(dmf )6][PF6]3 [hexakis(dimethylformamide-κO)iron(III) tris(hexafluoridophosphate)], was synthesized, and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 and Z = 2 with cell parameters a = 11.9608(3)Å, b = 13.1544(4)Å, c = 13.4260(3)Å, α = 81.340(2)°, β = 81.572(2)°, γ = 65.340(3)°, and V = 1889.61(10)Å3. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values were 0.0556 and 0.1515, respectively, for all 19173 independent reflections. The structure of the complex cation can be approximated as the S6 symmetry, but the cations are compressed due to the crystal packing.
