Crystals of [Fe(phen) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2 .0.5H 2 O (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) are nearly isostructural with those of the Co II and Cu II analogues, with similar disorder of the perchlorate groups. The Fe II complex ion is less distorted than the Co II and Cu II complex ions. The average Fe-N distance is 1.978 (3) A and the average N-Fe-N bidentate angle is 82.6 (4) o . The phenanthroline ligands are planar
