T. Tokii et al., SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF NOVEL HEXANUCLEAR IRON(III) COMPLEXES WITHMU-HYDROXO-BIS(MU-AMINO ACID-O,O')DIIRON CORES, Chemistry Letters, (3), 1994, pp. 441-444
Novel hexanuclear iron(III) complexes with Fe-2(mu-OH)(mu-RCOO)(2) moi
ety in the molecule (where RCOO is an amphoteric ion of beta-alanine (
1) or glycylglycine) have been prepared. The crystal structure of 1 co
nsists of two mu-hydroxo-bis(mu-beta-alanine-O,O')diiron(III) cores an
d two iron(III) ions bridged by mu-oxo ions at each iron(III) site in
the cores.
