Abstract
The interaction of the pivalate complexes of iron(III), [Fe3O(Piv)6(H2O)3]·HPiv, and cadmium(II), [Cd(Piv)2], in Et2O resulted in one more type of “ferric wheel” family complex, namely [Fe8(Piv)16{Cd(Piv)2}(μ-OH)8]·Et2O (1). The complex is an octanuclear iron(III) wheel with a {Cd(Piv)2} moiety asymmetrically incorporated into the ring.
