Abstract
Reaction of the fluoroquinolone antimicrobial ciprofloxacin (cip) with iron(III) in the presence of nitrilotriacetate (nta) results in the isolation of yellow crystals of the complex [Fe(cip)(nta)]3·5H 2O. The X-ray structural studies establish that, in the solid state, coordination of the iron(III) occurs through the keto and the carboxylic acid oxygen of the ciprofloxacin ligand to form a six-membered ring.
