The title complex, poly[dodeca-μ-cyanido-diiron(III)triplat-inum(II)], [Fe(III) 2{Pt(II)(CN)4}3], has a three-dimensional polymeric structure. It is built-up from square-planar [Pt(II)(CN)4](2-) anions (point group symmetry 2/m) bridging cationic [Fe(III)Pt(II)(CN)4](+) ∞ layers extending in the bc plane. The Fe(II) atoms of the layers are located on inversion centres and exhibit an octa-hedral...

The title complex, [Fe(2)(C(2)H(5)S)(3)(C(12)H(21)Si)(2)], has an unusual Fe(2)S(3) core. The two 1,2,3,4-tetra-methyl-5-(trimethyl-silyl)cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp') ligands coordinate to the Fe atoms with their C(5) planes perpendicular [dihedral angles = 88.23 (7) and 88.55 (7)°] to the Fe-Fe vector, building two Cp'Fe subunits. These two subunits are bridged by three thiol-ate ligands. There ar...

The mixed-valent, solid solution series FeMo1−nVnO4 (0≤n≤0.3) was synthesized and characterized by x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis. Assignments of individual Fe-species stem from 57Fe-Mössbauer spectroscopy DFT-calculations the electric field gradients. incorporation smaller ions (FeIII, VV) represents an internal “chemical pressure” effect stabilizing low-temperature α-polymorph with incre...

The design principles of fluorescence-based siderophore sensor molecules for detection of heavy transition-metal (HTM) ions are first reviewed. As an example, fluorescein-desferrioxamine (FlDFO), a highly efficient fluorophore molecule combining a specific Fe ion receptor and a fluorescence-sensitive signalling site has been designed, synthesized, and used for dosing with Fe ions. Its response ...
