The tetranuclear cluster FeIII[FeIII(salicylhydroximato)(MeOH)(acetate)]3 is an analogue of M3+(9-crown-3)
Abstract
The first example of transition metal co-ordination to ethereal like oxygens of a 9-metallocrown-3 ether is seen in FeIII[FeIII(salicylhydroximato)(MeOH)(acetate)]3 and leads to an unusual tetranuclear cluster which exhibits both inter- and intra-cluster antiferromagnetic interactions and an S= 5 ground state.
