Comparison of the Fe3+ monomeric complex (a) from this work with (b) the equivalent Fe2+ complex and (c) the Fe3+ dimer formed with the unsubstituted ligand. All views are oriented to look down the Nax—Fe—Nax axis. The methyl groups in the Fe3+ complex are skewed, whereas they are eclipsed in the Fe2+ complex. For the sake of clarity, H atoms have been omitted. |
