What is the product and structure of the complex when iron ammonium sulphate react with salicylic acid?
Answer:
The reaction is a complexation between the Fe+3 ion and salicylic acid. The product might best be described as a "chelate" type of complex with the ligands being the "pnenolic" OH (on the ring) and the carboxl group. I believe that there will be 3 salicylic molecules complexed in this way since the coordination number for Fe+3 is usually 6.
