Abstract

Heptanuclear metal-centered, six-membered. mixed-valent, heterometallic wheels 1-3 of iron, manganese, and indium were prepared in a one-pot reaction from N-benzyldiethanolamine (H2L1), cesium carbonate, [PPh4]2[MnCl4], and FeCl3 or InCl3. All three complexes were characterized by the combination of elemental analysis, FAB mass spectroscopy, X-ray diffrac tion and cyclic voltammetry. and in the case of 1 additionally by Mössbauer spectroscopy. In 1, four MnII ions in the periphery are arranged in pairs alternating with one FeIII ion each, with an FeIII ion located in the center. In 2, three MnII ions alternate with three InIII ions, whereas in 3, four InIII ions are arranged in pairs and alternate with one MnII ion each. In 2 and 3 an Mn II ion is encapsulated in the center.
