Abstract
Here we report the isolation and
characterization of [Fe(pic)2OH]2, a
ferric iron picolinate dimer whch apparently is the first example of a
crystalline iron(III) dimer which utilized dihydroxo bridging in its
coordination structure. Its magnetic susceptibility dat in the range
16-229 K is consistent with a hydroxo-bridged dimer.
The magnetic moment vs
temperature of the ferric picolinate hydroxy dimer
