720 C.P. Raptopoulou et al. / Polyhedron 24 (2005) 711–721<strong>iron</strong>(<strong>III</strong>) ions is depicted <strong>in</strong> the Mössbauer spectra. Themagnetic properties are <strong>in</strong>terpreted with<strong>in</strong> the context ofa trimer with exchange constants typical for complexeswith the [Fe 3 (l 3 -O)] 7+ core and a S = 1/2 ground state.The crystal structure analysis of 1 reveals <strong>in</strong>termolecular<strong>in</strong>teractions between the trimers form<strong>in</strong>g 1D polymericcha<strong>in</strong>s. In 2 the <strong>in</strong>termolecular <strong>in</strong>teractions lead to theformation of a 2D network. These <strong>in</strong>teractions give riseto broad EPR spectra <strong>in</strong> the solid state. The salox 2 ligandadopts the usual l 2 :g 1 :g 1 :g 1 coord<strong>in</strong>ation mode,while the possibility of further use of the oximate oxygenatom to bridge to a second metal is left open. In thatsense, compounds 1 and 2 can be considered as importantstart<strong>in</strong>g materials for the synthesis of higher nuclearityclusters under certa<strong>in</strong> reaction conditions.AcknowledgementsThe Greek General Secretariat of Research andTechnology is acknowledged for support<strong>in</strong>g the presentwork with<strong>in</strong> the frame of the Competitiveness EPAN2000–2006, Centers of Excellence # 25.
