Objective: The molecule N-(4- hydroxyphenyl) acetamide (paracetamol) has several potential centres where reaction can be initiated, and it is benzene ring, hydroxyl (-OH), amino (-NH) and keto (-C=O) group. The aim of this research paper is to establish complex between defence of molecule and Fe(III)-ion. Different researches of complex ligands for iron are very important in medicine, because molecules are used as antibiotics or medicinal reagents.

Methods: Identification and characterization of the complex Fe (III)-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide was done with  FTIR, UV and MS spectroscopy.

Results: After the spectrum analysis of the synthetized complex utilizing FTIR, UV and MS method, the results indicate the coordination between ligands and metals through adequate functional groups.

Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it may be confirmed that Fe (III)-ion achieves interaction through free electronic pair of oxygen atom (-OH) group and nitrogen atom (-NH) group N-(4- hydroxyphenyl) acetamide and accordingly indicates that the molecule of N-(4- hydroxyphenyl) acetamide behaves as bidentate ligand.
