Iron and manganese clusters with oxygen atoms acting as bridging ligands possess a variety of structures and are of current interest in materials and bioinorganic chemistry. For example, nanosized molecules with a high-spin ground state afford single-domain magnets,[1] which may display hysteresis,[2] slow magnetic relaxation,[3] and spin-quantum tunneling characteristics of a purely molecular origin.[4] The ironstorage protein ferritin and manganese clusters have been extensively studied as a biological prototype in the inorganic systems,[5] and as models of the water-oxidizing complex in photosystem II,[6] respectively. The development of synthetic routes to metal clusters has resulted in remarkable achievements in spin chemistry and biochemistry. Among organic bridging ligands, alkoxo groups have been employed extensively for constructing metal clusters because of their versatile bridging modes (μ2 and μ3). Subtle changes in reaction conditions have resulted in the formation of unexpected and beautiful structures, such as cyclic polymetallic clusters.[7] Previously, we have described an alkoxo-bridged iron (ii) cube,[Fe4 (sae) 4 (MeOH) 4](H2sae ¼ 2-salicylideneamino-1-ethanol), which exhibited superparamagnetic behavior with a blocking temperature of 1.1 K.[7g] In the course of exploring the versatility of Schiff base ligands, we found that complexes with higher spin multiplicities could be synthesized from reactions involving iron (ii or iii) chloride and the tridentate Schiff base ligand 3-methoxy-2-salicylideneamino-1-ethanol (H2L).
