Abstract

The title compound, [Fe3O(C2H2ClO 2)6(H2O)3]NO3· 3H2O, contains an FeIII trimeric cation in which the three FeIII ions are at the corners of a slightly distorted triangle with an O atom in the centre. Two monochloroacetate ligands bridge each pair of FeIII ions and a water molecule coordinates each FeIII ion at the apex, opposite to the central O atom. Hence, the FeIII ions are surrounded by distorted oxygen octahedra. The distances between the Fe III ions and the central O atoms are considerably shorter than those between the FeIII ions and the other coordinated O atoms. The trimeric cations form a three-dimensional connected network via hydrogen-bonding interactions to extra-cluster water molecules and nitrate anions.
