Abstract

The molecular structure of the oxo-bridged dimer barium μ-oxo-bis{aqua[nitrilo-κN-triacetato(3-)-κ 3O,O′,O″]ferrate(1-)}-water(1/4), Ba[{Fe(nta)(H2O)}2O]·4H2O, which has an Fe-O-Fe angle of 153.2(6)°has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The iron ions are six-co-ordinate with one tetradentate nta ligand and one water molecule completing the co-ordination sphere. The relationship of this compound to other iron-nta complexes is discussed in the context of the hydrolysis reactions of iron(III) in aqueous solutions.
