Synthesis and Study of Mixed Ligand Complexes of Iron(III) with Fluorinated 1,3-Diketones

Abstract

Mixed ligand complexes of iron(III) with bis(salicylidene)ethylenediimine, a tetradentate Schiff base, and various fluorinated 1,3-diketones have been prepared. These high-spin complexes with an octahedral geometry have been characterised on the basis of elemental analyses, spectral data and magnetic studies.
