In this paper the X-ray structure and magnetic properties of iron(II) acetate -starting material for the synthesis of a wide range of iron complexes -are presented. The compound crystallises in the space group Pbcn and was identified as 2D coordination polymer consisting of iron atoms and acetate moieties with all the iron atoms hexacoordinate and different coordination modes for the acetate moieties. Additional hydrogen bond contacts lead to a porous coordination polymer
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
