Abstract

In the title compound, [FeCl(2)(C(18)H(12)N(2))], the Fe(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral arrangement by an N,N'-bidentate 2,2'-biquinoline ligand and two chloride ions. In the crystal, there are extensive π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.7611 (3), 3.7603 (4), 3.5292 (4), 3.5336 (5) and 3.6656 (4) Å].
