Product Information

• Name: 6-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde
• Synonyms: 2-Formyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde is a ligand that has anisotropic magnetic properties. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, and its structure consists of two iron atoms (II) coordinated by two hydrazone groups and one carboxylate group. The compound is dimeric, with each unit consisting of two iron atoms (II) coordinated by two hydrazone groups and one carboxylate group. The compound exhibits ferromagnetic properties, being paramagnetic at room temperature. In crystallography studies, it was found that the 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde adducts are tetranuclear with a helicate geometry around the Fe(II) atom. This compound is also paramagnetic at room temperature due to the presence of unpaired electrons on the two Fe(II) centers.
