title: Mössbauer and electronic spectral studies of iron(III) complexes of oximes.
abstract: The hydroxo-bridge complexes of the type [Fe(2)(ligand-H)(4)(OH)(2)] with bidentate nitrogen-oxygen donor ligands, viz. 2-hydroxynaphthaldehydeoxime [hnoH(2)], 2-hydroxyacetphenoneoxime [haoH(2)], salicylaldooxime [SalH(2)], 2-hydroxypropiophenoneoxime [hnoH(2)] have been prepared. All the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic moments, electronic and Mössbauer spectral studies. Mössbauer parameters of the complexes clearly suggest high spin configuration of Fe(III) showing lower magnetic moment to that of the spin only value, i.e. 5.92 BM. It may be due to the antiferromagnetic interaction between Fe(III) centers.
