“…Schiff bases of iron(III), 20, have been known since 1938. 87,88 The magnetochemical properties of the m-oxo-bridged complexes, [{Fe(salen)} 2 O] (salenH 2 = N,N 0 -bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) and [{Fe(saloph)} 2 O] (salophH 2 = bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine), 21, have proved to be particularly interesting, and their properties and X-ray studies are mentioned in many works. 89,90 Many derivatives have been prepared in which the bridge is constituted by the monoanion of a carboxylic acid X (trichloroacetic, trifluoroacetic, salicylic and picric acid), and characterized as dimers of composition [Fe(salen)X] 2 .…”
