Abstract

(Figure Presented) Available in assorted shapes: Three new oligonuclear complexes self-assemble from tBu-N-diethanolamine and mixtures of iron(II) and iron(III) ions. Depending on the reaction conditions, a compact or linear defective hexacubane, or a body-centered six-sided iron(III) polyhedron (see structure; Fe gold, Ca purple, C gray, N blue, O red, Cl green) is formed.
