Three new neutral bis(μ-alkoxo)diiron(III) complexes were prepared from N(R), N-(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol)aminoethan-1-ol ligands (H 2 L1, R = Me and H 2 L2, R = H). In these complexes, the ligand wraps around the metal center exhibiting a tridentate facial coordination mode with alkoxo-bridging oxygen, amine nitrogen and phenoxo oxygen donor atoms. In the complex [Fe(acac)L1] 2 ·MeCN (1) acetylacetonato coligand complete the distorted octahedral coordination spheres of the iron(III) ions, whereas in the five-coordinate iron(III) chloride complexes [FeClL1] 2 (2) and
