A Noninterpenetrating Three‐Dimensional 4⁶6⁹ Iron(<scp>ii)</scp> Coordination Polymer Built with a Trigonal‐Antiprismatic Iron(<scp>iii)</scp> Metalloligand

Abstract

A second coordination sphere of six Nexo atoms in a trigonal-antiprismatic arrangement allows the metalloligand [FeIII(L)2]+ (red spheres, L=hydrotris(1,2,4-triazolyl)borate) to assemble with Rh2(OAc)4 linear spacers (blue rods) in an unprecedented noninterpenetrating 3D framework with 4669 topology. The metalloligand is reduced to the iron(II) state during the reaction by the borate ligand.
