Abstract
Imidazole template iron sulfate clusters, [HMIM]2[Fe2O(SO4)3(DMSO)2] • 0.5DMSO (1) and [HPIM]4[Fe4O2 (SO4)6(DMSO)4] • 2MeCN (2), were synthesized via the reaction of FeCl2 with Brønsted acidic ionic liquid [HRIM] [HSO4] using ethanol as solvent. The clusters crystallize in triclinic with a space group P(image found). The core contains 4 iron atoms, which are coplanar connected by the central μ3-O bridge, μ2-O and μ3-O bridge of SO4 groups. Protonated imidazoliums are the counter cations for the balance of charges of the core. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of the Fe4 sulfate clusters reveal weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centers. In contrast, the reaction of FeCl3 under the similar experimental conditions didn’t produce the similar cluster structure, whereas iron-DMSO complex [FeCl2(DMSO)4][EtSO4] • DMSO (3) was obtained.
