Abstract
The reaction of [FeII(H2O)6](BF4)2 with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPyA) and triethylamine in methanol under aerobic conditions forms [(TPyA)FFeIIIOFeIIIF(TPyA)](BF4)2 · 0.5MeOH (1), in which each Fe(III) ion is coordinated to a TPyA and an F- ion as well as an oxo ion (O2-) linking two Fe(III) ions. 1 has offset face-to-face π-π interactions between the dimers, and possesses a supramolecular network structure. The magnetic susceptibility of 1 can be fit with g = 2.0, J/kB = - 153 K (106 cm-1), and θ = - 0.3 K [H = - 2JSa · Sb]. These indicate that very strong antiferromagnetic interactions occur via the oxo bridge within the Fe(III) dimer and weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the dimers.
