An [Fe-34(III)] Molecular Metal Oxide
The dissolution of anhydrous iron bromide in a mixture of pyridine and acetonitrile, in the presence of an organic amine, results in the formation of an [Fe-34] metal oxide molecule, structurally characterised by alternate layers of tetrahedral and octahedral Fe-III ions connected by oxide and hydroxide ions. The outer shell of the complex is capped by a combination of pyridine molecules and bromide ions. Magnetic data, measured at temperatures as low as 0.4K and fields up to 35T, reveal competing antiferromagnetic exchange interactions; DFT calculations showing that the magnitudes of the coupling constants are highly dependent on both the Fe-O-Fe angles and Fe-O distances. The simplicity of the synthetic methodology, and the structural similarity between [Fe-34], bulk iron oxides, previous Fe-III-oxo cages, and polyoxometalates (POMs), hints that much larger molecular Fe-III oxides can be made.
Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions. you can also check out more blogs about 3731-53-1. Product Details of 3731-53-1.
