Single crystals of the title complex, tris(1, 6-dihydro-9H-purine-6-thione-N(7),S)iron(II) tetrachloroferrate(III) chloride, [Fe(C(5)H(4)N(4)S)(3)][FeCl(4)]Cl, were grown on the surface of solid 6-mercaptopurine monohydrate pellets in a solution of iron(III) chloride. The solution of the hexagonal structure required the application of twin refinement techniques. All the component ions lie on threefold rotation axes. The complex contains distorted octahedral [Fe(C(5)H(4)N(4)S)(3)](2+) cations with three N7/S6-chelating neutral 6-mercaptopurine ligands, tetrahedral [FeCl(4)](-) anions with a mean Fe-Cl distance of 2.189 (1) A, and free chloride ions.

The investigation of magnetic ordering in magnetic molecular conductors is the subject of ongoing research studies in the fields of condensed matter physics, chemistry and material sciences. Following the photo-magnetic behavior already observed in individual (FeCl4)2(py·H)3Cl molecules at room temperature, magnetic ordering is studied in this work. Calculations are performed using spin projected broken symmetry via density functional theory within the scheme of the B3LYP approximation.

The FeCl4(-) ion, heterogenized on a Dowex ion exchange resin, catalyzes the aerobic photodecomposition of neat CH2Cl2. Phosgene production was used to characterize the extent of decomposition, although it appears to be a secondary product from the decomposition of chloroform, which is suggested to arise from the reaction of dichloromethanol with hydrogen chloride. The yield of CHCl3 increases when the production of phosgene is suppressed by water or acetonitrile.

A hydrophobic magnetic room temperature ionic liquid (MRTIL), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium tetrachloroferrate(III) ([3C(6)PC(14)][FeCl(4)]), was synthesized from trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride and FeCl(3) · 6H(2)O. This MRTIL was investigated as a possible separation agent for solvent extraction of phenolic compounds from aqueous solution. Due to its strong paramagnetism, [3C(6)PC(14)][FeCl(4)] responds to an external neodymium magnet, which was employed in the design of a novel magnetic extraction technique.

The first of the title compounds, [Fe(C12H15N6P)2][FeCl4].4CH4O, is the first homoleptic bis(ligand)iron(II) species reported for this phosphorus bridgehead ligand; interestingly, the complex is isomorphous with its tris(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methanol counterpart, the second of the title compounds, [Fe(C13H16N6O)2][FeCl4]2Cl. In both compounds, the Fe atom of the cation lies on an inversion centre.
