Description
Summary:Hexacyanoferrate(III) reacts with [Fe II(meso)(CH 3CN) 2](ClO 4) 2·2CH 3CN (meso = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) in acetonitrile/water mixture producing the title complex, where three [Fe(meso)] 2+ units are connected by two [Fe(CN) 6] 3− anions. Molecular modeling (MM +) shows a fairly linear molecule and Mössbauer data are consistent with two terminal pentacoordinated low spin iron(II)-meso units linked to one hexacoordinated low spin iron(II)-meso through two hexacoordinated low spin iron(III) units. Spectroscopic characterization showed a typical mixed-valence charge transfer band and the degree of electron coupling was calculated to be H AB = 678 cm −1. Magnetic properties exhibited an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the iron(III) ions with a coupling constant J = −44 cm −1.
