Analysis of crystallographic and structural data of polymeric iron-alkaline metal complexes
The present review covers almost 100 polymeric MFe (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) compounds. The metal atoms of group 1 as partners with iron atom build up complex polymeric chains. The iron atoms are found in the oxidation states 0, +2, and +3, of which the oxidation state +3 prevails. The coordination...

| Summary: | The present review covers almost 100 polymeric MFe (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) compounds. The metal atoms of group 1 as partners with iron atom build up complex polymeric chains. The iron atoms are found in the oxidation states 0, +2, and +3, of which the oxidation state +3 prevails. The coordination number of the iron atom ranges from 2 to 10 (sandwiched). The coordination sphere about the main group 1 metals varies, ranging from tetrahedral to mostly trigonal bipyramid. There are also higher coordination numbers involved, namely, from 6 to 10. The most common ligand atoms are oxygen and nitrogen. There are three compounds displaying distortion isomerism. Several relationships between structural parameters are found and discussed. |
