Two new iron(III) compounds, (Hamp)[Fe(pydc)2] center dot 2H2O (1) and (Hacr)[Fe(pydc)2] center dot 2H2O (2) (pydc2- = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, amp = 2-aminopyrimidine, acr = acridine), have been hydrothermally synthesized. Both compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods (IR, UV/Vis), and their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis and their thermal stability by thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) methods. Compound 1 consists of Hamp+ cation and [Fe(pydc)2]- anion and 2 consists of Hacr+ cation and [Fe(pydc)2]- anion. Crystallographic characterization revealed an octahedron as a coordination polyhedron for the complex anion in 1 and 2 and the same O,N,O'-chelated coordination mode of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are stabilized by a complicated network of hydrogen bonds between the crystallization water molecules, counter ion, and carboxylates of pydc2-. Thermogravimetric (TG) analyses of the two compounds were carried out to examine their thermal stabilities. Cyclic voltammetric response of bare glassy carbon electrode surface in 0.10 mol L-1 phosphate buffer containing 1 and 2 at different pH values indicated that they have the same voltammograms at all pH values and the electrochemical behavior of 1 and 2 has not been affected by different ion pairs. The formal potential of the solutions of 1 and 2 at the glassy carbon electrode surface was also pH-dependent with a slope of -57.0 mV/pH unit at 25 degrees C. This shows that the number of electrons and protons involved in the electrode process is equal.
