M. Veith et al., Fe9O3(OC2H5)(21)center dot C2H5OH - A new structure type of an uncharged iron(III) oxide-alkoxide cluster, EUR J INORG, (2), 2001, pp. 367-368
A new nona iron(III) oxide-alkoxide cluster has been prepared by the treatm
ent of FeCl3 with three equivalents of sodium ethoxide. The molecule is the
first example of a neutral iron(III) alkoxide cluster based on OEt ligands
and shows a paramagnetic moment of 13.4(1) mu (B) at 293 K in the solid st
ate.
