The structures and symmetry of oxido-bridged dinuclear iron(III) complexes vary depending on the circumstances and intramolecular interligand interactions. The Fe-O-Fe bridge tends to bend like a water molecule but can be stretched by interligand steric repulsion. Overall, these structures are mainly controlled by intramolecular interligand interactions.
Oxido bridges commonly form between iron(III) ions, but their bond angles and symmetry vary with the circumstances. A large number of oxido-bridged dinuclear iron(III) complexes have been structurally characterized. Some of them belong to the C-2 point group, possessing bent Fe-O-Fe bonds, while some others belong to the C-i symmetry, possessing the linear Fe-O-Fe bonds. The question in this study is what determines the structures and symmetry of oxido-bridged dinuclear iron(III) complexes. In order to gain further insights, three oxido-bridged dinuclear iron(III) complexes were newly prepared with 2,2 '-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands: [Fe2OCl2(bpy)(4)][PF6](2) (1), [Fe2O(NO3)(2)(bpy)(4)][PF6](2)center dot 0.6MeCN center dot 0.2(2-PrOH) (2), and [Fe2OCl2(phen)(4)][PF6](2)center dot MeCN center dot 0.5H(2)O (3). The crystal structures of 1, 2, and 3 were determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method, and all of them were found to have the bent Fe-O-Fe bonds. Judging from the crystal structure, some intramolecular interligand hydrogen bonds were found to play an important role in fixing the structures. Additional density functional theory (DFT) calculations were conducted, also for a related oxido-bridged dinuclear iron(III) complex with a linear Fe-O-Fe bond. We conclude that the Fe-O-Fe bridge tends to bend like a water molecule, but is often stretched by interligand steric repulsion, and that the structures are mainly controlled by the intramolecular interligand interactions.
