Access to new magnetic cores in Fe(III) and Fe(III)/Cu(II) spin clusters

Abstract

The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [Fe(14)O(4)(OH)(4)(H(2)L)(2)(HL)(4)(piv)(20)] (1) and [Fe(8)Cu(2)O(4)(H(2)L)(4)(HL)(2)(OBz)(12)] (2) are reported (H(3)L = 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol): both complexes have unique core structures and display non-zero spin ground states.
