trans-Diaquatetrakis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)iron(II) μ-carbonyl-tetradecacarbonyltetrachlorido-μ-dimethylsilanediolato-tetragalliumtetrairon(7 Ga–Fe)(Fe–Fe) tetrahydrofuran tetrasolvate

The title compound, Fe(C 4 H 8 O) 4 (H 2 O) 2 Fe 4 Ga 4 (C 2 H 6 O 2 Si)Cl 4 (CO) 15 ·4C 4 H 8 O, consists of an iron(II) cation octahedrally coordinated by two water molecules ( trans ) with four tetrahydrofurans (THF) at equatorial sites. Two additional THF molecules are hydrogen bonded to each of the water molecules. The dianion of the title compound is an organometallic butterfly complex with a dimethyl siloxane core and two iron-gallium fragments. The lengths of the iron to gallium metal–metal bonds range from 2.3875 (6) to 2.4912 (6) Å.
