%X The crystal structures of &#91;Fe(aha)3&#93;&#183;1.5H2O and &#91;Fe(bha)3&#93;&#183;3H2O (ahaH = acetohydroxamic acid, bhaH = benzohydroxamic acid) have been determined. &#91;Fe(aha)3&#93;&#183;1.5H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/ c (a 19.169(4), b 8.5738(3), c 12.257(3) &#197;, &#945; = &#947; = 90&#176;, &#946; 92.255(4)&#176;). The two isomeric forms (fac and mer) cocrystallize. The structure of &#91;Fe(bha)3&#93;&#183;3H2O is as reported previously (monoclinic, P21/n, a 12.9998(16), b 13.2196(16), c 14.1154(17) &#197;, &#945; = &#947; = 90&#176;, &#946; 90.809(2)&#176;) but with improved refinement giving an R value of 0.03 compared to 0.12. In each complex the geometry of the Fe centre is octahedral but with significant distortion.
