Tetra-kis(μ-pivalato-κO:O')bis-[(2-methyl-pyridine-κN)iron(II)](Fe-Fe)
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(2)(C(5)H(9)O(2))(4)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], contains one unique Fe-atom site located close to a centre of symmetry which generates the mol-ecular dimer. The two Fe atoms are bridged by four carboxyl-ate groups and are each coordinated by a mol-ecule of 2-picoline. Electron counting and the 18-electron rule suggest that a chemical single bond is likely to exist between the two Fe atoms, which are separated by a distance of 2.8576 (4) Å. This bond completes an approximately octa-hedral coordination environment around each Fe atom.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
