Abstract

The reaction between FeCl3, NaO2CPh and L [L = 1,2-bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-6-yl)ethane] in MeCN gives the title complex 1 whose cation contains an unusual [Fe63-O)4]10+ core, whereas in MeOH the dinuclear complex [Fe2(OMe)2Cl2(O2CPh)L][FeCl4] 2 is obtained; magnetic studies indicate that the cations of 1 and 2 both have S = 0 ground states, consistent with the expected antiferromagnetic exchange interactions.
