Methoxy[meso‐5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(2,6‐difluorophenyl)porphyrinato]­iron(III), [Fe(TDFPP)(OCH3)]

The crystal structure of the title compound, Fe(C₄₄H₂₀F₈N₄)(CH₃O)], has been determined. The Fe atom lies 0.485 (1) Å out of the plane of the four N atoms to which it is coordinated and from the inversion centre at the origin of the unit cell. The methoxy group is axially coordinated to the Fe atom with O—Fe—N angles of 106.3 (2) and 102.4 (2)°, a C—O—Fe angle of 128.3 (5)° and an Fe—O distance of 1.788 (5) Å. Di­fluoro­phenyl rings are tilted from the porphyrin (por) plane with torsion angles of ?68.1 (6) and 77.7 (5)° across the two C_por—­C—C—C_ar systems.
