Abstract Reactions of iron(m) salts with a new bidentate ligand, which is potentially capable of forming binuclear iron complexes upon complexation, were studied. Under various conditions, we succeeded in isolating only the trinuclear cationic complex (FeIII 3(O2CR)6(μ3-)17+ (1), where RCO2 is 2-(pyrid-2-ylmethoxy)benzoic acid protonated at the pyridyl moiety. The structure of 1 was established by spectral, magnetic, and X-ray structural studies. Cyclic voltammetry in McCN in the temperature range from -35 to 20 °C demonstrated that 1 undergoes successive FeIII→FeII reduction in three one-electron stages, which is indicative of the electronic interaction between iron atoms in the complex.
