As representative porphyrin model compounds, the structures of `picket-fence' porphyrins have been studied intensively. The title solvated complex salt {systematic name: (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane)potassium(I) [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2-tert-butanamidophenyl)porphyrinato]iron(II) n-hexane monosolvate}, [K(C18H36N2O6)][Fe(C64H64N8O4)Cl]·C6H14 or [K(222)][Fe(TpivPP)Cl]·C6H14 [222 is cryptand-222 or 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane, and TpivPP is meso-α,α,α,α-tetrakis(o-pivalamidophenyl)porphyrinate(2-)], [K(222)][Fe(TpivPP)Cl]·C6H14, is a five-coordinate high-spin iron(II) picket-fence porphyrin complex. It crystallizes with a potassium cation chelated inside a cryptand-222 molecule; the average K-O and K-N distances are 2.81 (2) and 3.05 (2) Å, respectively. One of the protecting tert-butyl pickets is disordered. The porphyrin plane presents a moderately ruffled distortion, as suggested by the atomic displacements. The axial chloride ligand is located inside the molecular cavity on the hindered porphyrin side and the Fe-Cl bond is tilted slightly off the normal to the porphyrin plane by 4.1°. The out-of-plane displacement of the metal centre relative to the 24-atom mean plane (Δ24) is 0.62 Å, indicating a noticeable doming of the porphyrin core.
