PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF TRINUCLEAR OXOBRIDGED IRON(III)-L-AMINO PERCHLORATES: AMINO ACIDS WITH REACTIVE R GROUPS

Abstract

Abstract Trinuclear oxobridged iron(III)-L-amino acid perchlorates derived from a variety of L-amino acids, i.e. hydrophobic, aromatic, hydroxy, and sulfur-containing L-amino acids have been prepared, and their spectral and magnetic properties examined. The results support the view that complexes containing the unit [Fe3O]7+ are the preferred chemical entities under the described reaction conditions.
