The structure and magnetic properties of μ3‐oxotriiron(III) complex [Fe3O(OBz)6(CH3OH)3](NO3)(CH3OH)2

Abstract

AbstractA new μ3‐O triiron(III) complex [Fe3O(OBz)6(CH3OH)3](NO3)(CH3OH)2 (HOBZ = benzoic acid) has been synthesized, its structure has been determined and variable temperature magnetic susceptility has also been measured. In the molecule, three iron atoms formed an equilateral triangle with μ3‐O in center. The fitting to the magnetic susceptibility showed that an intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange interaction occurred between iron atoms with J=‐25.51 cm−1, and a weaker intermolecular autiferromagnetic exchange interaction occurred with zJ' = −2.30 cm−1.
