[Fe (C4H6N2) 6][B (C6H5) 4] 2. CH2CI2, Mr= 1271.88, monoclinic, P21/c, a= 20.5320 (6), b= 15.113 (3), c= 23.611 (7) A, fl= 109.01 (3), V= 6926.9 (1)/~ 3, Z--4, Dx= 1.23 g cm-3, g (Mo Ka)= 0.70966 A, graphite monochromator,~= 3.37 cm-~, F (000)= 2680, T= 298 K, R= 0.057 for 2310 unique observed reflections. The asymmetric unit consists of a single [Fe (C4H6N2) 6] 2+ cation, two distinct BPh4 anions, and one CH2CI2. The Fe atom is octahedrally coordinated by six N-methylimidazole ligands. The six Fe--N bond distances per cation range from 2.174 (1 l) to 2.228 (10)/~,, the average being 2.207 (12) A. This average distance is within the range previously ob-served for high-spin ferrous complexes. The ring planes of N-methylimidazole ligands that lie trans to each other have interplane angles of 17.56, 18.48 and 157.56. These ring planes lie approximately either parallel or perpendicular to equatorial Fe-N bonds.Experimental. All procedures for preparation of the compound were performed under an Ar atmosphere. A tenfold molar excess of N-methylimidazole was added to a solution of anhydrous FeC13 in absolute ethanol. After refluxing for 1 ha twofold molar excess over Fe of NaBPh4 was added to the cooled solution, resulting in the formation of a yellowish-red solid, which was washed and vacuum dried. This solid was dissolved in THF containing excess N-methylimidazole and reduced by dropwise addition of (Me2Si) 2S, which resulted in the formation of a white crystalline solid. This solid was recrystallized from dichloromethane-hexanes to give analytically pure [Fe (CaH6N2) 6](BPh4) 2. CH2C12. The identical compound has since been prepared by reaction of FeC1E. 4H20 and excess N-methylimidazole in etha-nol followed by metathesis with NaBPh4 and re-crystallization (Wu & Kurtz Jr, unpublished results). A colorless single crystal of approximate dimensions 0.10 x 0.12 x 0.15 mm was mounted in a Lindemann-glass capillary under Ar. Monoclinic synlmetry was indicated by the automatic indexing routine ALICE
