Abstract: A iron(III) complex [Fe(2,6-HDA)(2,5-HDA)(H2O)2]·2.5H2O (2,6-HDA=4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, 2,5-HAD=4-hydroxypyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It belongs to monoclinic system, with space group C2/c, a=0.155 8(4) nm, b=0.215 8(5) nm, c=0.133 0(3) nm, β=125.468(3)°, V=3.641 1(15) nm3, Z=8. The geometry around iron(III) is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. CCDC: 631130. |
