Linking iron(<scp>iii</scp>) carboxylates into high-nuclearity complexes by using Bis-tris

Abstract

We describe the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of two decanuclear Fe(III) complexes with novel core topologies, assembled using the tetra-deprotonated form of Bis-tris {2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol, H5L}.
