Hi all,

Anyone out there have a structure (or a reference to a structure) for a carboylate salt of iron(III), e.g. iron(III) acetate or iron(III) citrate? The closest I've found is a really short Nature article from 1965, but I'd like something more quantitative. I'm particularly interested in the Fe-Fe coordination and distance.

P.S. The mailing list's spam filter has decided that when I send messages from home I am actually engaged in something shady and is blocking me. This is the last day I know I'll be at SLC for a while, so I'm likely to have a hard time responding via the list until this gets straightened out. It's just the Ifeffit list, though--I can still send to people inside the ANL firewall with no problems.
