abstract = {Star-shaped complex [Fe(III)[Fe(III)(L1)2]3] (3) was
synthesized starting from N-methyldiethanolamine H2L1 (1)
and ferric chloride in the presence of sodium hydride. For
3, two different high-spin iron(III) ion sites were
confirmed by Mössbauer spectroscopy at 77 K. Single-crystal
X-ray structure determination revealed that 3 crystallizes
with four molecules of chloroform, but, with only three
molecules of dichloromethane. The unit cell of 3.4CHCl3
contains the enantiomers (delta)-[(S,S)(R,R)(R,R)] and
(lambda)-[(R,R)(S,S)(S,S)], whereas in case of 3.3CH2Cl2
four independent molecules, forming pairs of the enantiomers
[lambda-(R,R)(R,R)(R,R)]-3 and [lambda-(S,S)(S,S)(S,S)]-3,
were observed in the unit cell. According to SQUID
measurements, the antiferromagnetic intramolecular coupling
of the iron(III) ions in 3 results in a S = 10/2 ground
state multiplet. The anisotropy is of the easy-axis type.
EPR measurements enabled an accurate determination of the
ligand-field splitting parameters. The ferric star 3 is a
single-molecule magnet (SMM) and shows hysteretic
magnetization characteristics below a blocking temperature
of about 1.2 K. However, weak intermolecular couplings,
mediated in a chainlike fashion via solvent molecules, have
a strong influence on the magnetic properties. Scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling
spectroscopy (STS) were used to determine the structural and
electronic properties of star-type tetranuclear iron(III)
complex 3. The molecules were deposited onto highly ordered
pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Small, regular molecule clusters,
two-dimensional monolayers as well as separated single
molecules were observed. In our STS measurements we found a
rather large contrast at the expected locations of the metal
centers of the molecules. This direct addressing of the
metal centers was confirmed by DFT calculations.},
