Heterometallic CeIII–FeIII–salicylate networks: models for corrosion mitigation of steel surfaces by the ′Green′ inhibitor, Ce(salicylate)3
Abstract
The syntheses and structures of the novel Ce–Fe bimetallic complexes [{Fe(sal)2(bpy)}2Ce(NO3)(H2O)3]·EtOH and [{Fe(sal)2(bpy)}4Ce2(H2O)11][salH]2·EtOH·3H2O (salH2 =
