The unusual dinucleating properties of a simple bidentate Schiff base (LH, 1) in the presence of weakly coordinating methanol solvent lead to the self-assembly of [Fe(II) (2)(L(b))(2)(L(t))(2)(μ-MeOH)] (2) (b and t refer to bridging and terminally bound ligands, respectively). Complex 2 is the first diiron(II) species in which the two metal centers are triply bridged by single atoms in an asymmetric fashion, involving both μ-O(Ph) and μ-OH(Me) bridges. This binding mode produces an Fe···Fe dista ...[more]
