Formation and Molecular Structure of an Ion Pair Iron (II) Compound Derived from 2,6-Bis- [1-(2,6-dibromophenylimino) -ethyl] pyridine and 2-Acetyl-6-[1-(2, 6-dibromophenylimino)-ethyl] pyridine
Abstract
Two novel tridentate ligands of 2,6-bis-[l-(2,6-dibromophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine (L1) and2-acetyl-6-[1-(2,6-dibromophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine (L2) have been synthesized. The iron(II) complex of L1 and L2 has been characterized with the crystal structure of [Fe(L1)(L2)]2+ [FeCl4]2 CH2Cl2 [monoclinic, P21 (#11), a = 1.0562(4), b = 2.0928(4), c = 1.2914(2) nm, β = 100.12°, V = 2.810(1) nm3 Dc = 1.879 g/cm3 and Z = 2].
