Abstract
The synthesis and characterisation of a novel Fe(II) bisphenolate complex [Fe(OC{6}H{4}CH{2}NMe{2}-2){2}]{2} (1) from [Na(OC{6}H{4}CH{2}NMe{2}-2)] and anhydrous FeCl{2} is reported. The solid state structure has been elucidated by single crystal X-ray analysis and shows a dimeric structure with two bridging and two terminal phenolate ligands. Compound 1 reacts with pyridine to
