Abstract

In this contribution, we present the first crystal structure of iron(III) salicylate without additional counterions. The octahedral complex contains two salicylate and two water molecules as ligands. One salicylate is mono-anionic while the other is di-anionic. Because of the centrosymmetry of the complex, the acidic hydrogen atom is disordered on the midpoint between two salicylate oxygens. The structure determination of the tiny crystal indicates the presence of reticular twinning. The structure solution of the twin is shown and an explanation based on the crystal packing is provided.
