Abstract

The reaction of Fe(CIO4)2·6H2O with N,N′,N,″-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (L) in methanol affords, in the presence of a small amount of oxygen, the deep blue binuclear complex [L2Fe2(µ-OH)3](CIO4)2·2MeOH·2H2O which was characterized by EXAFS, e.s.r., u.v.-visible and Mössbauer spectroscopy to be a mixed valence iron (II/III) species of class III with an Stot= 9/2 ground state.
