Abstract
The crystal structure of (mu -oxo)bis[N,N'-o-phenylenebis(salicylideneimina to)iron(III)] ([{Fe(salpn)}(2)(mu -O)]) revealed the shortest intermetallic distance among the crystallo graphically characterized mu -oxo diiron(III) complexes bearing macrocyclic ligands. X-ray data indicate that the Fe-Fe distances are mainly controlled by the steric effect of the ligand. Arrange ment of the two Fe(salpn) moieties in close proximity with a fairly bent Fe -O-Fe bond is allowed by the reduced steric crowding of the salpn ligand. ( C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN.
