Abstract

Fe(III) complexes of general formulae [Fe^III(CH₃CN)₆][B(Ph)₄]₃ (1) and [Fe^III(C₂H₅CN)₆][B(Ph)₄]₃ (2) were synthesized by a direct reaction of FeCl₃ and Ag(B(Ph)₄) in acetonitrile and propionitrile, respectively. The complexes were characterized in the solid state and in solution. The complexes were used as catalysts for the oxidation of aniline and its derivatives. Complex 1 has better activity than complex 2, with product yield reaching 60%. The Fe(III) complexes exhibit good antibacterial and antifungal activities. The molecular geometries of the prepared iron(III) complexes were examined using density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory and the results obtained are in good agreement with experimental data.
