In situ reduction of Fe(iii) into Fe(ii): an example of post-crystallisation transformation.
Upon exposing crystals made of a combination of an amidinium based dication and [Fe(III)(CN)(6)](3?) anion to a hydroalcoholic solution of hydrazine and KCl, the reduction of Fe(iii) to Fe(ii) with concomitant incorporation of K(+) cation takes place in the crystalline phase.
