Notes:
The title compound, [Fe3(C5H11NO2)6O(H2O)3](MnCl4)2Cl3·6H2O, contains a triiron core linked by a μ3-bridging oxide ion. Each of the iron(III) ions has a distorted octahedral environment, being coordinated, in addition to the oxide ion, by four neutral betaine molecules and one water molecule. The N-alkylated α-amino acid betaine is present in the dipolar zwitterionic form and chelates pairs of Fe atoms at the vertices of the triangular [Fe3O]7+ ionic core. The Fe complex has a crystallographically imposed D3 symmetry. The water molecules fully exhaust their potential as hydrogen donors, forming a two-dimensional hydrogen-bond network in planes parallel to (001).
