Abstract

Crystal Structure and Vibrational Properties of a Sodium Oxoferrate(II) Hydroxide, Na5[FeO3][OH]. -Red crystals of the title compound are prepared by reaction of Na2O, Fe, CdO, and NaOH (Ag container, argon, 450°C, 5 d). The compound is characterized by single crystal XRD and single crystal IR and Raman spectroscopy. Na5[FeO3][OH] crystallizes in the space group Pnma with Z = 8. Aspects of the isolated [FeO 3 ] 4complexes and non-coordinating hydroxide in comparison with the respective cobalt compounds are discussed. -(GHEORGHE, D. E.; LITVINCHUK, A. P.; MOELLER*, A.
