An unprecedented Fe(36) phosphonate cage. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The reaction of 2-pyridylphosphonic acid (LH(2)) with iron(II) perchlorate and iron(III) nitrate afforded an interconnected, double-layered, cationic iron cage, [{Fe(36)L(44)(H(2)O)(48)}](20+) (1a), the largest interconnected, polynuclear ferric cage reported to date. Magnetic studies on 1a revealed antiferromagnetic coupling between the spins on adjacent Fe(III) ions.
