Iron derivatives structural parameters

Structural parameters for some azocompounds reported in the literature from electron or X-ray diffraction studies are collected in Table 1. Trans- and cis-NjFj have planar structures and the carbon-nitrogen skeleton of azomethane is also planar. In N2F2 the cis isomer is 3 kcal.mole" more stable than the trans and in N2H2 the cis isomer is probably also the more stable . In alkyl or aryl substituted derivatives, however, for steric reasons the trans form lies below the cis in energy. The molecular structure of Irons-azobenzene is known to be planar in the solid state while c/j-azobenzene deviates from planarity and a propeller shaped conformation has been proposed, wherein the phenyl rings are rotated approximately 30° out of plane . 

These derivatives (Type B) are at least formally prepared by the insertion of a fragment into a M-N bond to yield a new M-X-N unit. Such species have been suggested as possible intermediates in the insertion of an oxygen atom into a G-H bond by cytochrome P-450. Several of these derivatives have formally had a carbene fragment inserted into a M-N bond. Such derivatives include a Ni derivative and a cobalt(III) species that has undergone two such insertion reactions. Other species represent the formal reaction of a vinylidene with iron(III) (two different crystalline forms). This iron derivative has an intermediate-spin state. Other complexes result from the insertion of a nitrene or an oxene This last derivative can also be considered to be a porphyrin N-oxide derivative and the structure of a free base species of a porphyrin N-oxide has also been reported". Appropriate stereochemical parameters for the members of this class are found in Table IX. 

The band structure of nonmagnetic fee and bcc iron is shown in Fig. 7.5, being computed from the hybrid NFE-TB secular equation with resonant parameters Ed = 0.540 Ry and = 0.088 Ry. The NFE pseudopotential matrix elements were chosen by fitting the first principles band structure derived by Wood (1962) at the pure p states Nv (tiuo = 0.040 Ry), L2> ( U1 = 0.039 Ry), and X (t 200 = 0.034 Ry). Comparing the band structure of iron in the 100> and 111> directions with the canonical d bands in Fig. 

Espenson has found that the rhodoxime behaves very much like the cobaloxime in its association with iron(III) ion to form the bimetallic [Rh(DMG)(DMGFe)(H20)Me]2+. Its formation constant (equation 178) is 68.8 + 4.0 (for cobaloxime, Kf— 15.3 + 0.8912). This unusual cation can be considered to be derived from the structure shown in (63), in which X = Me, Y = H20, and one of the hydrogen-bonded hydrogens is replaced by an Fe3+. The presence of the iron adduct is readily signalled by an intense absorption near 440 nm (s ss 47 000), and a comparison of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters shows a strong similarity to the previously studied Fe3+ adducts of cobaloxime.913 Even in the presence of forcing concentrations of Fe3+, there was no evidence of incorporation of a second iron(III) ion.912... 

Iron oxychloride FeOCl presents a layered structure encountered in the various MOX derivatives of 3d elements that have been prepared, i.e., TiOCl, VOCl, CrOCl, FeOCl, TiOBr, VOBr, CrOBr. Table 1 shows the parameters of the orthorhombic unit cell.
