Abstract

Reactions of FeIII sources with 2-pyridyl oxime ligands, pyC(R)NOH (R=H, Me, Ph), afforded the trinuclear oxo-centered complexes (NH4)[Fe3O(LH)6(H2O)3](ClO4)8 ⋅MeOH⋅1.14H2O (1⋅ MeOH⋅1.14H2O) and [Fe3O{pyC(H)NO)(PhCO2)6(H2O)]⋅MeCN (2⋅MeCN), the tetranuclear complex [Fe4(OH)4{pyC(Me)NO}4(H2O)4] (ClO4)4⋅3Me2CO⋅H2O (3⋅3Me2CO⋅H2O), and the hexanuclear complexes [Fe6(OH)6{pyC(Me)NO}6(H2O)6](ClO4)6⋅8Me2CO⋅2H2O (4⋅8Me2CO⋅2H2O), [Fe6(OH)6{pyC(Me)NO}6(MeCONH2)6](ClO4)6⋅2MeCN⋅H2O (5⋅2MeCN⋅H2O), [Fe6(OH)6 {pyC(Ph)NO}6(H2O)6](ClO4)6⋅4.4Me2CO ⋅1.6Et2O (6⋅4.4Me2CO ⋅1.6Et2O) and [Fe6(OH)6{pyC(Ph)NO}6(MeOH)6](ClO4)5.5(OH)0.5⋅MeOH⋅0.5H2O (7⋅MeOH ⋅0.5H2O), where LH is the zwitterion anionic form of 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid (picolinic acid). Complex 3 can be described as inverse 12-metallacrown-4, whereas 4–7 can be described as inverse 18-metallacrowns-6 and represent the first examples of iron(III) metallacyclic clusters with pyC(R)NOH (R=H, Me, Ph) ligands. Complexes 3 and 6 were characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements, while complex 2 was characterized by EPR spectroscopy.
