Dinuclear iron carbonyl complex 2, which contains an elongated unsupported Fe-Fe bond, was synthesized by the reaction between Fe2(CO)9 and phosphinyl radical 1. Thermal Fe-Fe bond homolysis led to the generation of a four-coordinate carbonyl-based iron-centered radical, 3, which is stabilized by π-donation. Complex 3 exhibited high reactivity toward organic radicals to form diamagnetic five-co...

The complex [{(mu-SCH2)2N(CH2C6H4-2-Br)}Fe2(CO)6] and its N-protonated species, as structural models of the Fe-only hydrogenase active site, were identified spectroscopically and crystallographically, and their molecular structures show the 0.04-0.1 A lengthening of the three N-C bonds and an intramolecular HBr contact (2.82 Angstroms) in the crystalline state of the N-protonated species.

A facile precursor dependent single step, one pot solution based synthesis of wurtzite and chalcopyrite polymorphs of CuFeS2 has been developed by reacting a Cu(I) thiourea complex with Fe2(SO4)3 and FeCl3 separately in ethylene glycol. The phases have been characterized by structural refinements, SEM-EDX, TEM-SAED, Raman, UV-Visible spectroscopy and TGA measurements.

A liquid-helium temperature study of Fe2+ and Mn2+ ions has been carried out on a single crystal of Fe2+-doped ZnSiF(6).6H2O at 5-35K at 170, 222.4 and 333.2G Hz. The spectra are found to be an overlap of two magnetically inequivalent Fe2+ ions, as well as that of an Mn2+ ion. From the simulation of the EPR line positions for the Fe2+ (d6, S=2) ion the spin-Hamiltonian parameters were estimated...

The key factors governing the single-phase or multi-phase structural change behaviors during the intercalation/deintercalation of guest ions have not been well studied and understood yet. Through systematic studies of orthorhombic Fe2(MoO4)3 electrode, two distinct guest ion occupation paths, namely discrete one for Li and pseudo-continuous one for Na, as well as their relationship with single-...

The title complex, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C18H20O)], formed by dehydration of 1-ferrocenylbut-3-en-1-ol, crystallizes as a racemic compound. The central C-O-C fragment, in which the C atoms are the chiral centers, is characterized by an angle of 116.26 (10)° at the O atom. One ferrocene group shows a staggered conformation whereas the other shows an eclipsed conformation.

OBJECTIVES Metals such as iron are needed for physiological functions of the body. However, their excess may cause serious damage including poisoning. The effects of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions on human plasma cholinesterase activity were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Plasma were obtained (n = 24) from healthy male volunteers, and treated with five various concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Ac...

In this paper, we demonstrate a new promising resonance Raman (RR)-based method for the determination of Fe3+ concentrations in aqueous solutions. Iron ions were quantified at a low concentration range by employing hydroxylamine hydrochloride as the reductant, and phenanthroline as the complexing agent, thereby reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+. The addition of Fe3+ to the detection reagent resulted in a r...

A dinucleating macrocycle, H2PIM, containing phenoxylimine metal-binding units has been prepared. Reaction of H2PIM with [Fe2(Mes)4] (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and sterically hindered carboxylic acids, Ph3CCO2H or ArCO2H (2,6-bis(p-tolyl)benzoic acid), afforded complexes [Fe2(PIM)(Ph3CCO2)2] (1) and [Fe2(PIM)(ArCO2)2] (2), respectively. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that these diiron(II...

Reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with 1,2-dithiolene HSC6H2Cl2SH affords a mixture of complexes [Fe2(CO)6(μ-SC6H2Cl2S)] 1, [Fe2(SC6H2Cl2S)4] 2 and [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-SC6H2Cl2S)2] 3. In the course of the reaction the trimetallic cluster 3 is first formed and then converted into the known dinuclear compound 1 to afford finally the neutral diiron tetrakis(dithiolato) derivative 2. Compounds 2 and 3 have been studi...
