M. James et al., SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A NOVEL MIXED-VALENCE TRI-IRON COMPLEX SALT - THIAZOLE)IRON(II)][MU-OXO-BIS(TRICHLOROIRON(III))], Polyhedron, 16(24), 1997, pp. 4279-4282
The title compound, [Fe(tz)(6)][Fe2OCl6] (1) (tz = thiazole) has been
synthesised under argon by the reaction of anhydrous FeCl3 with thiazo
le in ethanol. 1 crystallises in the cubic space group Pa (3) over bar
(no. 205) with 3 a = 15.001(5) Angstrom, V = 3375(2) Angstrom(3), Z =
4, R = 0.061 and R-w = 0.073. 1 consists of a face-centred cubic arra
y of [Fe(tz())](2+) cations, with the ore-bridged [Fe2OCl6](2-) anion
occupying the cell and edge centres. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
