Chlorido(2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinato)iron(III) dichloromethane sesquisolvate

The title molecule, [Fe(C36H44N4)Cl]·1.5CH2Cl2, is a high-spin square-pyramidal iron(III) porphyrinate with an average value for the equatorial Fe—N bond lengths of 2.065 (3) Å and an axial Fe—Cl distance of 2.2430 (13) Å. The iron cation is displaced by 0.518 (1) Å from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin ring. These values are typical for high-spin iron(III) porphyrinates.
