Structure and magnetic properties of a new iron(II) citrate coordination polymer

The three-dimensional structure of a hydrothermally synthesized new iron citrate compound, [Fe(H₂cit)(H₂O)]_n, which is built up from the chains of corner-sharing FeO₆ octahedra that are further connected through citrate anions, was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermal and magnetic properties of material were investigated by TG, HT-XRD, Mossbauer and magnetic susceptibility analyses.
