EPR spectra are reported for two types of seven coordinate iron(II) complex. Spin-hamiltonian parameters are assigned;
it is possible to dtiinguish between six- and seven-coordinate species. The spectra of transferrn and conalbumin are discussed.
1. htroduction
3. Theory
Iron(III) is notable in exhibiting coordination numbers from 3 to 8 in its complexes [l] ; the possibility
of coordination number interconversion bas important
implkations in biological systems, as it can relate to
conformational changes in the protein.
Two well-defzed types of seven coordinate complex are provided by FeBXsY- (B = 2,13dimethyl3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-12,3,1
octadeca-1(18),
2,12,14,16_pentane, X = NCS, Cl, Br, or 1; Y = ClO,
-S;)
2. Experimental
The complexes were prepared by the literature
methods [2,3,5]. X-band EPR spectra were recorded
using a Varian E3 instrument; Q-band spectra of
(Fe, Ga) (EDTAH) HzO were got using a Varian
V4502 instrument at Imperial College, Londen.
