Article: Studies from J.Q. Tao and colleagues yield new information about chemistry.

"Two new complexes [Fe(dpq)(MePy)(2)(NCS)(2)] (1) and [Fe(Medpq)(MePy)(2)(NCS)(2)] (2) (dpq=2-dipyrido[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline, Medpq=2-methyldipyrido[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline, MePy=4-methylpyridine) have been synthesized. The crystal structure of 2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction at room temperature," scientists in People's Republic of China report.

"It crystallizes in orthorhombic space group l2(l)2(l)2(l), with a=15.057(3) angstrom, b=14.569(3) angstrom, c=13.180(3) angstrom, alpha-90.00 degrees, beta=90.00 degrees, gamma=90.00 degrees, and V=2891.2(11)angstrom(3). The distorted [FeN6] octahedron in 2 is formed by six nitrogen atoms from Medpq, two ...
