Abstract

The anionic triiron(III) cluster ligand [Fe(III)(3)(µ(3)-O)(bpca)(2)Cl(4)(EtO)(2)](-) (1; Hbpca=bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine) was prepared as a building block for constructing larger metal assemblies. This "metal cluster complex ligand" was used in the synthesis of the mixed-valent heptairon complex [Fe(II)(1)(2)(EtOH)(2)], which has a ground-state spin value of S=12/2.
