Iron Diamine complex

[nicky]

What will be the complex formed if Iron Nitrate is added to Diamine solution? Has anybody done FTIR studies on such complex?

[John Cuthber]

What diamine?

Interesting to me would be the following reaction:

Fe(NO₃)3  +  3 [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]OH -->  Fe(OH)3  (s) +  3 [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2]NO3

Or:

Fe(NO₃)3  +  3 [Cu(NH3)2(H2O)4]OH -->  Fe(OH)3  (s) +  3 [Cu(NH3)2(H2O)4]NO3

I have previously reacted the basic [Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2](OH)2 with Mg salts resulting in a precipitate of Mg(OH)2 and the corresponding tetra amine complex.

Note:  [Cu(NH3)x(H2O)y](OH)2 where x + y = 6 can be formed based on ammonia concentration used in the salt preparation.
