Three octahedral iron(III) nitrate complexes with dimethylated urea ligand isomers, [hexakis(N,N’-dimethylurea-O)iron(III)] nitrate (compound 1), trans-[diaquatetrakis(N,N-dimethylurea-O)iron(III)] nitrate (compound 2) and [hexakis(N,N-dimethylurea-O)iron(III)] nitrate trihydrate (compound 3) were prepared and characterized with single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, Raman and UV-VIS methods. In compounds 1 and 3, six dimethylurea ligands coordinate to the central FeIII ion via the oxygen in octahedral geometry and the ligands are arranged in a propeller-like manner, dividing the complex cations into two sides. In compound 1, the dimethylurea propellers screw in the opposite direction on the two sides of the complex and in compound 3, they are arranged with the same handedness on the two sides. The complexes have helical chirality. The two sides of the complex cations differ not only in the rotation direction of the ligands but also in the hydrogen bond formation. On one side of the complex cation, the ligands form intermolecular hydrogen bonds only with the crystal waters, meanwhile on the other side of the complex, the ligands form hydrogen bonds only with the nitrate ions. In compound 2, [Fe(N,N-dimethylurea)4(H2O)2]3+ cations form layers that are separated by interconnected NO3- ions forming a hydrogen bonding system and connecting the complex cations A-s and B-s. The three crystallographically different nitrate ions each form four hydrogen bonds in a way that they have one bidentate O atom and two monodentate O atoms, however, the anions differ in their hydrogen bonding. The spectroscopic characteristics of compound 2 were determined by IR measurements on the deuterated compound 2 as well.
