The octahedral iron complex trans-[{O,O-(ƞ5-C5H4P(O)Ph2)2Fe}2Fe(III)Br2][Fe(III)Br4]has been prepared by self-assembly simply by adding anhydrous ferric chloride to a dichloromethane/methanol solution of dppf and 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane and then leaving to form a complex slowly. The key factor in the self-assembly is the addition of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane which is the source of the bromide and is responsible for acid catalysed hydrolysis of ferric chloride.

Abstract

The octahedral iron complex trans-[{O,O-(ƞ5-C5H4P(O)Ph2)2Fe}2Fe(III)Br2][Fe(III)Br4]has been prepared by self-assembly simply by adding anhydrous ferric chloride to a dichloromethane/methanol solution of dppf and 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane and then leaving to form a complex slowly. The key factor in the self-assembly is the addition of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane which is the source of the bromide and is responsible for acid catalysed hydrolysis of ferric chloride.
