Bis[N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]iron(III) perchlorate methanol solvate

D. Wu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Fe(C₁₂H₈N₃O₂)₂]ClO₄·CH₃OH, the iron(III) ion is surrounded by two tridentate N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidate (bpca) ligands and exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination by six bpca N atoms. A classical O-HO hydrogen bond exists between the methanol solvent molecule and the perchlorate anion. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated the complex to be in the low-spin state in the temperature range 5-400 K.
