Rw. Saalfrank et al., THE 1ST NEUTRAL ADAMANTANOID IRON(III)-CHELATE COMPLEX - SPONTANEOUS FORMATION, STRUCTURE, AND ELECTROCHEMISTRY, Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in English, 32(8), 1993, pp. 1179-1182
''Metalloautism''-this term perfectly describes the characteristic of
the adamantanoid iron(III) chelate complex 1 that the four iron center
s do not interact with each other either electronically or magneticall
y. The four metal atoms are linked by six chelatino ligands (2), which
are prepared by deprotonation of the product of the condensation of t
erephthaloyl chloride and dimethyl malonate.
