The structure of two trinuclear iron acetates [Fe3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]Cl· 6H2O (I) and [Fe3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3][FeCl4] · 2CH3COOH (II) was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals I and II are ionic and belong to the orthorhombic system with parameters a = 13.704(3), b = 23.332(5), c = 9.167(2) Å, R = 0.0355, space goup P21212 for I and a = 10.145(4), b = 15.323(6), c = 22.999(8) Å, R = 0.0752, space group Pbc21 for II. The complex cation [Fe3O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]+ has a μ3-O-bridged structure typical for trinuclear iron (III) compounds. As shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy, the iron(III) ions are in the high-spin state. In trinuclear cations, antiferromagnetic exchange interaction takes place between the Fe(III) ions with the exchange parameter J = -26.69 cm−1 for II (Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck model for D3h, symmetry).
