Crystallization, Structure Determination and Reticular Twinning in Iron(III) Salicylate: Fe[(HSal)(Sal)(H2O)2]

Crystallization, Structure Determination and Reticular Twinning in Iron(III) Salicylate: Fe[(HSal)(Sal)(H2O)2]

In this contribution, we present the first crystal structure of iron(III) salicylate without additional counterions. The octahedral complex contains two salicylate and two water molecules as ligands. One salicylate is mono-anionic while the other is di-anionic. Because of the centrosymmetry of the c...
