A diferric complex from metal-assisted methanolysis of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)-pyridine: Structural, magnetic and spectroscopic (Mössbauer, EPR) studies

Reaction of iron(III) perchlorate with di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)-pyridine (dpcp) leads to a diferric methoxo-bridged complex, exhibiting a weak intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction as evidenced by magnetic susceptometry.
