Structural isomers of iron(III) N-methyl diethanolaminate as sol-gel precursors for iron-based oxide nanomaterials
Résumé
A new homoleptic iron(III) complex, [Fe-4(mdea)(6)]center dot 6CHCl(3) (mdeaH(2) = N-methyl diethanolamine), isolated in star-or chair-shaped isomeric forms, was evaluated and compared with other homoleptic iron(III) aminoalkoxides for different sol-gel parameters to stabilize nanosized colloidal suspensions, and to elaborate magnetic Fe2O3 and BiFeO3 nanoparticles as well as thin films by spin coating.
