Abstract
In a one-pot reaction of N-(5-methylthiazole-2-yl)-thiazole-2-carboxamide HL2 (3) with iron(II) acetate in air, the homotrinuclear heteroleptic mixed-valent oxo-centered iron cluster [FeIIFe2 IIIO(L2)3(OAc)3] (4) was formed. Exchange of iron(II) in 4 by nickel(II) afforded the heteronuclear cluster [NiIIFe2IIIO(L2)3(OAc) 3] (6). To obtain crystals suitable for X-ray structure analyses, in 4 and 6, the OAc- co-ligands were exchanged by OBz ligands to give [FeIIFe2IIIO(L2)3(OBz) 3] (5) and [NiIIFe2IIIO(L 2)3(OBz)3] (7). The complexes 5 and 7 are isostructural and made up of three ditopic, tridentate ligands (L 2)- and three bridging benzoate co-ligands, which fix the three metal ions in the corners of a triangle with an μ3-O 2- ion in the center. The mixed-valent character of 4-7, their intramolecular electron-exchange processes, and their redox properties were studied by variable-temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
