ABSTRACT
In the title salt, (C(10)H(9)N(2))(2)[Fe(C(8)H(2)NO(6))(C(8)H(3)NO(6))]·3H(2)O, the Fe(III) atom is O,N,O'-chelated by dianionic and trianionic ligands in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The cations and ferrate anions are linked into a layered structure; the layers are connected through the uncoordinated water mol-ecules into a hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. One of the uncoordinated water molecules is disordered around an inversion centre and was refined with half-occupancy for each position.
ABSTRACT
In the title novel mixed-valence copper complex, {[Cu2(C8H2NO6)(C10H8N2)].H2O}n, the Cu(I) and Cu(II) ions are linked by 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) and pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate (ptc) ligands into corrugated layers, which are assembled via interlayer C-H...O hydrogen bonds to give a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
