High‐Spin Wheel of a Heptanuclear Mixed‐Valent Fe^II,III Complex

Abstract

Wheels with high spins: The reaction of a tridentate Schiff base ligand with iron(II) chloride, and subsequent oxidation with [(tBu4N)MnO4] yielded a heptanuclear mixed-valent iron wheel (see picture) with a spin ground state of S=29/2.
