Abstract
New metal-organic coordination polymer, (Me3NH)[Fe-3(mu(3)-O)(mu-HCOO)(8)]center dot DMF (1), was synthesized by heating of Fe(NO3)(3)center dot 9H(2)O and [NH(CH3)(3)]Cl in DMF/HCOOH solution. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals this compound has 1D anionic framework structure built from Fe3O(mu-HCOO)(6) cluster units linked by formate bridges. Compound 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and TGA. The magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate a strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between Fe-III ions in the cluster and intercluster magnetic interaction. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
