Dimensionality, oxalato-bridged polymeric compounds

D. Chirality and Dimensionality in Oxalato-Bridged Polymeric Compounds. 

There are also carboxylates15 (Section 17-E-10), phosphates, catecholates, and oxalates. Most of the divalent iron oxalato compounds have a chain structure but the product of photoreduction of mononuclear [bipyH] [Feni(ojc)2(H20)2] gives a three-dimensional anionic polymeric network of [Fe2I(ox)3]2 1 and [Fen(bipy)3]2+ ions.16 Magnetic exchange typically occurs through the oxalate bridges.17 Six-coordinate iron(II) a-amino acid complexes are readily obtained from the reaction of the 4-coordinate Fe(mes)2(phen) and the protic amino add, AH, in THF 18...
