Abstract
Solid state photolysis of alkaline earth tris/malonato/ferrates/III/, i.e., M3[Fe(CH2C2O4)3]2.xH2O /M=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba/ has been investigated employing Mössbauer, infrared and reflectance spectroscopic techniques. The complexes were irradiated for 400 h using a medium pressure mercury vapour lamp of 250 Watts. Photoreduction led to the formation of M[FeII(CH2C2O4)2(H2O)2]. The extent of photoreduction showed the following order: Ca>Sr>Mg>Ba. The results have been compared with those of analogous alkaline earth tris/oxalato/ferrates/III/.
