Iron (III) has a low affinity for simplemonodentate nitrogen ligands, and such complexes do not exist in aqueous solution. 1 Indeed, although octahedral iron (II) complexes of 1-methylim-idazole (1-Meim) 2 and 2-methylimidazolato (2-Meinr) 3 ligands are known and have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, their corresponding iron (III) analogues are unknown. However, a large number of five-and six-coordinate iron (III) complexes of porphyrins4· 5 and salen type ligands6 containing imidazole in axial positions have been prepared and characterized by singlecrystal X-ray crystallography. The interest shown in the structural characterization of these complexes can be attributed to the prevalence of iron in similar coordination environments in naturally occurring heme and non-heme metalloenzymes. 7 In such complexes it is apparent that the axial ligands play an important role in controlling the spin state of the iron center and hence the binding of substrate molecules. 8 Besides the aforementioned iron porphyrin complexes, a number of simple iron complexes9 andpolynuclear oxoiron clusters10 with multidentate ligands derived from imidazoles have been characterized, primarily as models of iron centers in non-heme enzymes. However, to our knowledge a simple pseudo-octahedral iron (III) complex of 1-Meim has not been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
