a), b) Views of the thermal ellipsoid plot at 50% probability of [(Imid-benz)Fe(NO)2]4, complex 3. The labels correspond to the distance between opposite aryl C-C bonds at the widest point and at the closest point. Red: O, blue: N, black: C, orange: Fe, gray: H. c) Two molecules from the extended packing diagram to show the close contact of the benzyl groups of the closed portion to those of the open portion. d) Labeling scheme to demonstrate selected intermolecular C to C distances between benzyl groups of the closed portion to the open portion. Nitrosyl groups have been removed for clarity. C-C distances, Å: C8-C12 3.610; C8-C11 3.587; C11-C4 4.926; C11-C3 4.497; C11-C2 3.837; C10-C2 3.506; C10-C3 3.940.
