wherein:
each X is an anion;
n is 1, 2 or 3 so that the total number of negative charges on
said anion or anions is equal to the oxidation sate [sic: state] of
a Fe atom present in (1);
R1, R2 and R3 are each independently hydrogen, hydrocarbyl,
substituted hydrocarbyl, or an inert functional group;
R4 and R5 are each independently hydrogen, hydrocarbyl, an
inert functional group or substituted hydrocarbyl; and
R9, R10, R11, R14, R15 and R16 are each independently hydrogen,
hydrocarbyl, an inert functional group or substituted hydrocarbyl;
R8 is a primary carbon group, a secondary carbon group or a
tertiary carbon group;
and provided that:
when R8 is a primary carbon group none, one or two of R12, R13
and R17 are primary carbon groups, and the remainder of R12, R13 and
R17 are hydrogen;
when R8 is a secondary carbon group, none or one of R12, R13 and
R17 is a primary carbon group or a secondary carbon group and the
remainder of R12, R13, and R17 are hydrogen;
when R8 is a tertiary carbon group all of R12, R13 and R14 are
hydrogen; and any two of R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16 and R17
vicinal to one another, taken together may form a ring.
The sole reference relied upon by the examiner is:
