Impact of the Schiff base ligand substituents on the solid state and solution properties of eleven iron(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes

Abstract

A series of novel iron(<sc>iii</sc>)-Schiff base complexes have been prepared and structurally characterised. Their stereochemical, magnetic and redox properties were correlated with the molecular design of the corresponding N₃O₂-pentadentate Schiff base ligand.
