Synthesis and Characterization of Two Novel Fe 3 ( μ 3 ‐O) Complexes.

Two new Fe 3 ( μ 3 ‐O) complexes, [Fe 3 ( μ 3 ‐O)(O 2 CC 6 H 4 F) 6 (OCH 3 )(2H 2 O)]NO 3 ·2H 2 O (1), and [Fe 3 ( μ 3 ‐O)(O 2 CCH 3 ) 6 (3H 2 O)] 3 ·4H 2 O (2), have been synthesized and characterized by X‐ray crystal structural analysis. Both (1) and (2) belong to monoclinic system. For (1), space group is P 2 1 /n. a=14.662(3) Å, b =22.080(4) Å, c =15.501(3) Å, β =96.91(3)°, U =4982.0(17) Å 3 , Z =4, Dx =1.578 g cm -3 . While for (2), space group is C 2/ c , a =15.317(6) Å, b =26.113(6) Å, c =23.622(6) Å, β =96.475(6)°, U =9388(5) Å 3 , Z =4, Dx =1.713 g cm -3 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
