Two new soluble iron-oxo complexes: [Fe2([bold mu]-O)([bold mu]-O2CCF3)2(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2] and [Fe4([bold mu]3-O)2([bold mu]-O2CCF3)6(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2]·CF3CO2H

Abstract: Two new iron-oxo clusters, viz. di-[bold mu]-trifluoroacetato-[bold mu]-oxo-bis[(2,2'-bipyridine-[bold kappa]2N,N')(trifluoroacetato-[bold kappa]O)iron(III)], [Fe2O(CF3CO2)4(C10H8N2)2], and bis(2,2'-bipyridine)di-[bold mu]3-oxo-hexa-[bold mu]-trifluoroacetato-bis(trifluoroacetato)tetrairon(III) trifluoroacetic acid solvate, [Fe4O2(CF3CO2)8(C10H8N2)2]·CF3CO2H, contain dinuclear and tetranuclear FeIII cores, respectively. The FeIII atoms are in distorted octahedral environments in both compounds and are linked by oxide and trifluoroacetate ions. The trifluoroacetate ions are either bridging (bidentate) or coordinated to the FeIII atoms via one O atom only. The fluorinated peripheries enhance the solubility of these compounds. Formal charges for all the Fe centers were assigned by summing valences of the chemical bonds to the FeIII atom.

Formula: [Fe2O(CF3CO2)4(C10H8N2)2] and [Fe4O2(CF3CO2)8(C10H8N2)2]·C2F3O2H
