    Abstract:
    The crystal structure of the title compound has been established by three-dimensional X-ray single crystal analysis. Crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with Z = 2, in a cell of dimensions a = 18.29 (3), b = 11.52(2), c = 13.13(2) Å, α = 89.72(20), β = 127.25(20), γ = 110.95(20)°. Atomic co-ordinates were obtained by Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R 0.126 for 2289 independent reflections. Fe-O-Fe is 151.6°, and with this geometry a pair of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato ligands adopt a parallel arrangement. The mean magnetic susceptibilities of the title compound and of the corresponding unsolvated species are discussed in terms of a spin-spin coupling model involving two spin-free iron(III) ions.
