Synthesis and Characterization of a New μ-Alkoxodiiron(III) Complex with NO5 Donor Set Environments
A new dinuclear iron(III) complex, [Fe2(hpta)(Obz)(H2O)2], where H5hpta is 2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid and HObz is benzoic acid, was prepared and characterized. X-Ray structure analysis revealed that the complex has mono(μ-carboxylato)(μ-alkoxo) diiron(III) core and each iron atom has an NO5 donor set in a distorted octahedron.
