Abstract

A pair of structurally-similar and stable 8-coordinate high-spin Fe(II) and Fe(III) compounds have been obtained. Both compounds exhibit field-induced slow magnetic relaxation behaviour. The Fe(III) compound represents the first example of 8-coordinate Fe(III) single-molecule magnets (SMM).
