A new pentanuclear cyano-bridged complex [{Fe II(tetraazamacrocycle)} 3{μ-NC-Fe III(CN) 5} 2]: Synthesis, spectroscopic and magnetic characterization
Hexacyanoferrate(III) reacts with [Fe II(meso)(CH 3CN) 2](ClO 4) 2·2CH 3CN (meso = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) in acetonitrile/water mixture producing the title complex, where three [Fe(meso)] 2+ units are connected by two [Fe(CN) 6] 3− anions.

3− anions. Molecular modeling (MM
+) shows a fairly linear molecule and Mössbauer data are consistent with two terminal pentacoordinated low spin iron(II)-meso units linked to one hexacoordinated low spin iron(II)-meso through two hexacoordinated low spin iron(III) units. Spectroscopic characterization showed a typical mixed-valence charge transfer band and the degree of electron coupling was calculated to be
