Single-crystal EPR studies of the Fe−O−Fe dimer, [enH2][{Fe(HEDTA)}2O]·6H2O, have been performed at both X- and Q-band frequencies and room temperature. Resonances arising from the S‘ = 1, 2, and 3 states have been observed in the powder spectrum at Q-band frequency and analysis by spectral simulation has led to the zero-field splitting parameters:  |D 1| = 1.950 cm-1, |E 1| = 0.650 cm-1, |D 2| = 0.150 cm-1, |E 2| = 0.0195 cm-1, |D 3| = 0.570 cm-1, and |E 3| = 0.000 cm-1. In addition, analysis of three orthogonal planes of single-crystal EPR data at both X- and Q-band frequencies has allowed the orientation of the zero-field splitting tensor with respect to the molecular geometry in the dominant (S‘ = 2) state to be determined. The largest principal value of the D tensor (D zz ) is found to lie approximately perpendicular to the plane of the Fe−O−Fe bridge; the nonlinear bridging angle is 165°. The results obtained in this study are compared with those from a number of other studies. A pattern for the orientations of the zero-field splitting parameters in the dominant spin state (S‘ = 2) of the Fe−O−Fe dimers, so far studied by single-crystal EPR spectroscopy, emerges.

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a collection of over one million experimental three-dimensional structures obtained through crystallographic analyses. These structures are determined by crystallographers worldwide and undergo curation and enhancement by scientists at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) prior to their addition to the database. Though the CSD is substantial and contains widespread chemical diversity across organic and metal–organic compounds, it is estimated that a significant proportion of crystal structures determined are not published or shared through the peer-reviewed journal mechanism. To help overcome this, scientists can publish structures directly through the database as CSD Communications and these structural datasets are made publicly available alongside structures associated with scientific articles. CSD Communications contribute to the collective crystallographic knowledge as nearly two thirds are novel structures that are not otherwise available in the scientific literature. The primary benefits of sharing data through CSD Communications include the long-term preservation of scientific data, the strengthening of a widely data-mined world repository (the CSD), and the opportunity for scientists to receive recognition for their work through a formal and citable data publication. All CSD Communications are assigned unique digital object identifiers (DOIs). Contributions as CSD Communications currently comprise about 3.89% of the total CSD entries. Each individual CSD Communication is free to view and retrieve from the CCDC website.
