G. Lente et I. Fabian, A simple test to confirm the ligand substitution reactions of the hydrolytic iron(III) dimer, REACT KIN C, 73(1), 2001, pp. 117-125
Using a novel test method based on initial rates, periodate, dithionate, se
lenite, phosphite, hypophosphite, and arsenate ions were confirmed to form
transient multinuclear iron(III) complexes directly with the iron(III) hydr
oxo dimer Fe-2(OH)(2)(H2O)(8)(4+).
