Abstract

The heptanuclear ferric cluster, [FeIII7(O)6(HL)5(H2L)(H2O)8](BF4)4 (H2L = 2,6-bis(1,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine), was synthesized by the reaction of the planar tridentate ligand H2L with iron(II) tetrafluoroborate hexahydrate. The cluster has a corner-shared triple-triangle core structure connected by three μ-O atoms, and it has a spin-frustrated ferrimagnetic spin ground state of S = 19/2.
