Abstract

A new nicotinamide complex of Fe(II) cation was prepared by reaction between ferrous sulfate and nicotinamide in aqueous solution. The complex was characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FT IR and UV–VIS spectroscopy, electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry) and X–ray crystallography. The complex consists of the molecular composition of [Fe(nicotinamide)2(H2O)4]· [Fe(H2O)6]·(SO4)2·2H2O. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/c [a = 12.862(3), b = 7.110(3), c = 16.382(3) A; β = 95.79(2)°]. It has been proven that nicotinamide is coordinated to Fe(II) through the nitrogen atom of its heterocyclic ring. © 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
