Abstract

Fe(III)-saccharide complexes of d-glucose and d-fructose have been synthesized from methanol using stoichiometric quantities of sodium salts of the corresponding saccharides. Both the compounds were isolated in the solid state and characterized by various analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and cyclic voltammetric methods. Both the complexes were found to be stable, in solution, in the pH range 2.5–12.0.
