A decamethylferrocene [Fe(C5Me5)2] and chloranilic acid (CA) complex with hydrogen bonded supramolecular structure between CA and H2O molecules
Abstract
The reaction of bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iron [Fe(C5Me5)2], as organometallic donor, and 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (CA), as organic acceptors, produces a one-dimentional (1D) crystalline complex. This crystal contains water molecules that act as cohesive elements by connecting the anions through O-H...O hydrogen bonds to form infinite 1D supramolecular structure along the b axis
