The iron(III) alkoxides, Fe(OMe)3, Fe(OEt)3, and Fe(Obun)a have been prepared by a procedure alternative to those previously described in the literature. The trimeric nature of the three compounds in benzene is confirmed by cryoscopy, and preliminary X-ray single crystal data for the ethoxide are consistent with trimeric entities in the solid. The temperature variation of the magnetic susceptibilities for the three compounds follows the Curie-Weiss law between 90 and 300K but with large values of θ=- 200K. The unusually low magnetic moments vary markedly with temperature, and at room temperature remain depressed in benzene solution at peer μeff 4.4 B.M. This anomalous behaviour is ascribed to the presence of weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within the cluster of iron atoms which forms the core of the trimeric species Fe3(0R)9. The compounds are sensitive both to hydrolysis and to heating. Hydrolysis decreases and pyrolysis increases the magnetic susceptibility. This provides a convenient method for following the progress of both types of reaction. |
