Abstract

In the title compound, [FeLi(C29H41N2)Cl2(C4H10O2)2], the FeII atom is coordinated by two N and two Cl atoms, generating a distorted FeN2Cl2 tetra­hedral geometry. Additionally, one of the chloride atoms bridges to a lithium ion, which is solvated by two dimethoxy­ethane mol­ecules and is coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment. The central Fe, Cl (× 2) and Li atoms are coplanar with a maximum deviation of 0.034 Å.
