Mössbauer Spectroscopic Studies of Monosubstituted Pentacyano Ferrate ( II ) Complexes ,

Mössbauer Spectra, Hexacoordinate Complexes A series of compounds Na3[Fe(CN)5RNH2] * nH 20 where R = -H, -CH3, -C2H5, n-C3H7, n-C4H9 and -CH2C6H5 and RNH2 = C5H5N have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Quadrupole splitting (A EQ) values vary in a limited range (0.68-0.80 mm/sec) indicating only small distortions in the octahedral geometry of the compounds with the substitution of various amino groups. Isomer shift (6) values remain almost constant suggesting that s-electron density is not affected by substitution.
