Abstract The coordination chemistry of FeCl3 is distinctly different to that of the other 3d metal halides. It has a distinct preference for O-donor ligands. Although it primarily forms six-coordinate complexes, it has some distinctive features that set it apart from metals like Mn(II), Co(II), and Ni(II), such as the self-ionized complexes [FeL4Cl2]+ [FeCl4]−. There are a number of examples where very small changes in the coordination sphere tilt the balance between isomeric structures. Chloride has a significant steric effect in the coordination sphere as well as a greater trans-influence than water. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
