Abstract

Cleavage of the all-iron(III) μ2-O2--linked dimer [FeIII3O(L)2-(OAc)4]2O (3) with lithium chloride yields [FeIII3O(L)2-(OAc)4]Cl (4) and with sodium benzoate, in combination with complete acetate-to-benzoate coligand exchange, gives [FeIII3O(L)2-(OBz) 4]OBz (5). Reduction of the all-FeIII complex 5 [Fe/L/OBz = 3:2:(4+1)] with sodium iodide affords the homonuclear mixed-valent cluster [FeIFeIII2O(L)3(OBz)3] (6) (Fe/L/OBz = 1:1:1) and requires fundamental coligand-to-ligand exchange. Likewise, when the all-FeIII dimer [FeIII 3O(L)2(OAc)4]2O (3) (Fe/L/OAc = 3:2:4) is cleaved with nickel acetate, the mixed-valent heteronuclear complex [NiIIFeIII2-O(L)3(OAc)3] (7) (M/L/OAc = 1:1:1) is formed.
