Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structural study of the iron(II) 4,4′-bithiazole complex [Fe(C6H4N2S2)3]2+(NO3 −)2

Abstract

The complex [Fe(C6H4N2S2)3]2+(NO 3 − )2 was prepared from the reaction of 4,4′-bithiazole with Fe(NO3)3·9H2O in methanol. It was characterized by IR, UV-Vis, luminescence, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and X ray crystallography. The structure was solved in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 12.1500(5), b = 12.8434(6), c = 16.2222(7) A, V = 2531.43(19) A3, Z = 4, and with wR 2 = 0.0897.
