through them are 0.041, ꢁ0.041, ꢁ0.044 and 0.044 Å and those of
O(4), O(5), N(3) and N(4) from the mean basal plane passing
through them are ꢁ0.016, 0.016, 0.017 and 0.016 Å. The Fe(1)
and Fe(2) centers are about 0.590 and 0.604 Å respectively above
the plane of the N2O2 ligands. Selected bond lengths and bond an-
gles are given in Table 3.

oxidative or reductive responses could be observed on running fur-

In summary, three six-coordinated monomeric and two five-
coordinated oxo-bridged dimeric Fe(III) compounds with salen-
type Schiff bases have been synthesized and characterized. Fe(III)

Schiff base compounds have a common tendency to form
mers in the presence of H2O (pH > 7). In absence of azide, thiocya-
nate or imidazole etc., a -oxo dimer is formed as the major
l-oxo di-
l
product. The presence of a measured excess of azide, thiocyanate
or imidazole reagent favors the formation of hexa-coordinated
monomeric compounds 1, 2 and 3. Two oxo-bridged dimers, 4
and 5, are also reported in this paper. On the other hand, the per-

used to increase the pH of the medium. Details of a systematic
study of the synthesis of oxo-bridged dimeric and hexa-
coordinated monomeric Fe(III) compounds with salen type Schiff
bases has also not been carried out before the present work. Thus
this work opens up a new outlook in tilting the balance between
hexa-coordinated monomeric and oxo-bridged dimeric Fe(III)
compounds with salen type Schiff bases.
