Jc. Fanning et al., A CAVEAT - SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF LENEBIS-(SALICYLIDENEIMINATO)NITRATO[O,O]IRON(III), Inorganica Chimica Acta, 232(1-2), 1995, pp. 199-201
Crystals of lenebis(salicylideneiminato)nitrato[O,O]iron(III), Fe(salp
n)O2NO, were obtained from an attempt to prepare crystals of the corre
sponding dipropylenetriamine complex. The source of the complex is dis
cussed. An X-ray crystal structure study showed that the nitrate ion w
as bonded to the iron atom in a symmetrical bidentate fashion. The sal
pn ligand has a non-planar cis-configuration.
