title: Structure and magnetic properties of an unusual homoleptic iron(III) thiocyanate dimer.
abstract: We describe the structural and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility properties of an unusual homoleptic bimetallic iron(III) thiocyanate tetraanion. This work represents the first structurally characterized bis(μ-1,3-thiocyanato) dimer of iron(III). A weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction is observed between the two iron(III) ions, which is supported by broken symmetry density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
