Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A rare, low‐spin Fe^IV imide complex [(pyrr₂py)FeNAd] (pyrr₂py²⁻=bis(pyrrolyl)pyridine; Ad=1‐adamantyl) confined to a cis‐divacant octahedral geometry, was prepared by reduction of N₃Ad by the Fe^II precursor [(pyrr₂py)Fe(OEt₂)]. The imide complex is low‐spin with temperature‐independent paramagnetism. In comparison to an authentic Fe^III complex, such as [(pyrr₂py)FeCl], the pyrr₂py²⁻ ligand is virtually redox innocent.</p> </abstract>
