Abstract The synthesis, EPR, magnetic and Mossbauer properties of two iron(III) complexes are reported. The heterodinuclear iron(III)-copper(II) complex Cu(salen)Fe(acac)2NO3 is obtained as an adduct from the reaction of the two mononuclear moieties, the Cu(salen) molecule and the mononuclear iron(III) molecule Fe(acac)2NO3 acting as a precursor of the dinuclear unit. The latter molecule itself has been prepared by ligand substitution from the tris-acetylacetonate Fe(acac)3. The dinuclear complex is characterized by comparing the properties of the mono- and the dinuclear complex. Fe(acac)2NO3 is identified from its typical IR spectrum with the main nitrate vibrations at 1380, 1250 and 1010 …
