A novel binuclear iron(III) Schiff base complex [Fe 2 (NO 2 Salpn) 2 (μ OH) 2 ] ⋅ H 2 O (I) (NO 2 Salpn = 5 nitrosalicylaldehyde 1,3 propanediamine) has been obtained through one pot refluxing and con densation. Complex I was established by single crystal X ray diffraction analysis (CIF file CCDC no. 1005239) and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, electrochemical and magne tochemical measurements. Complex I consists of two pseudooctahedral high spin iron(III) units doubly bridged by two hydroxyl groups. The inter hydrogen bonding interactions connect the adjacent binuclear units into one dimensional (1D) infinite chain, and these 1D chains are further propagated into the two dimensional (2D) supramolecular network by weak intermolecular interactions. Variable temperature mag netic measurements indicate the presence of strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the two adjacent iron(III) ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
