Abstract
A mononuclear Fe(III) complex of a tetradentate N2O2 donor Schiff base ligand derived from 3-ethoxysalicaldehyde and ethylenediamine has been reported. In addition two tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes with discrete Fe4III(μ4-O) cores have been synthesized and characterized using two Schiff base ligands (H2L1–2) derived from two different aromatic acid hydrazides and diacetyl monoxime. The mononuclear Fe(III) and one of the tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The mononuclear complex has a highly distorted octahedral geometry. The tetranuclear Fe(III) complexes are found to be rare examples with discrete neutral alkoxido–oxido clusters with Fe4III(μ4-O) cores.
