How does one prepare iron propionate?

Here are two ways:

1) Drying of an aqueous mixture of proprionic acid and a water soluble iron salt through use of a rotavap or vacuum centrifugation.

2) Chemisorption of propionic acid vapors by an iron impregnated MCM-41 porous silica leads to the formation of iron-propionate.

Thank's, that sounds good. Do you know if the article is available anywhere else, I don't have acess to the journal via that link?
