A seven-co-ordinate dioxygen adduct of iron(II) with spin-triplet ground state
Abstract
Oxygenation of cis-[Fe(bt)2(NCS)2](bt = 2,2′-bi-2-thiazoline) in non-aqueous solvents yields a product having properties consistent with a binuclear structure in which seven-co-ordinate iron(II) ions in the triplet ground state are bridged by singlet dioxygen.
