Abstract

We report herein the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of a new mixed-ligand iron(III) complex of the formula (C5H6ClN2)[Fe(C2O4)2(H2O)2]∙2H2O. This compound is prepared by slow evaporation at room temperature and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It is characterized by IR and UV-VIS spectra and thermal analysis (TG and DTA). In this compound, the iron ion has a slightly distorted square bipyramidal environment, coordinated by two chelating oxalate ions and two water molecules. Structural cohesion is essentially established by π–π interactions between the rings of pyridine groups and intermolecular hydrogen bonds connecting the ionic entities and uncoordinated water molecules. Magnetic susceptibility measurements exhibit the paramagnetic behavior at high temperatures. However, at low temperatures, the magnetic data show the occurrence of weak antiferromagnetic intermolecular interactions between the local spins.
