The tetracupferronato-bis(μ-methoxy)-diiron(III) complex has been synthesized in acetonitrile and its crystal structure determined. C26H26N8O10Fe2, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a =18.425(3), b = 12.999(2), c = 15.046(3) Å, β = 124.66(2)°,V = 2964(1) Å3, Z = 4, wR(2) = 0.097 from 1491 reflections (F2). Two iron(III) atoms are at special positions in six-fold coordination, bridged by O with a Fe-O-Fe angle of 102.4(1)° and a distance between two iron(III) centers of 3.075(1) Å. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a antiferromagnetic exchange interaction (J = -14 cm-1) between the iron(III) centers.
