Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic behaviour of a mononuclear Fe(III) - Schiff base metal complex

Description

A complex from Fe(II) and a hexa-dentate linear ligand containing O2N4 donor atoms were prepared and the structure enlightened with X-ray diffraction. The Fe(II) ion in the complex was seen to be oxidized to form a Fe(III) complex, [C20H24Cl3N4O2]Fe and the three chloride ions were situated at a distance of Fe...Cl(1) 3.976(5), Fe... Cl(2) 4.479(3) and Fe... Cl(3) 7.509(4) (A) over circle outside the coordination sphere. The Fe(III) ion has an octahedral coordination sphere and as expected the two oxygen donor atoms are coordinated in a -cis position. The Fe-O, Fe-N-imin and Fe-N-amine distances are 1.880(3) (A) over circle, 1.931(4) (A) over circle and 2.004(4) (A) over circle, respectively.
