Magnetism, electronic spectra, and structure of transition metal alkaloids. VII. Iron(III) halo alkaloids

Abstract

The compounds Fe₄X₆(OMe)₆,4MeOH (I), Fe₄X₃(OMe)₉ (II) (X = Cl, Br), and FeCl(OMe)₂ have been prepared. From their magnetic behaviour it is proposed that in the compounds (I) the iron atoms are situated at the corners of a rhombus, that in compounds (II) they are at the corners of a tetrahedron, and that in FeCl(OMe)₂ the iron atoms are at the corners of an isosceles triangle.
