AB - In a one‐pot reaction, the tetranuclear iron chelate complex [Fe4(L4)4] 6 was generated from benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylic acid trichloride (4), bis‐tert‐butyl malonate (5 a), methyllithium, and iron(II) dichloride under aerobic conditions. Alternatively, hexanuclear iron chelate complex [Fe6(L5)6] 7 was formed starting from bis‐para‐tolyl malonate (5 b) by employing identical reaction conditions to those applied for the synthesis of 6. The clusters 6 and 7 are present as racemic mixtures of homoconfigurational (Δ,Δ,Δ,Δ)/(Λ,Λ,Λ,Λ)‐fac or (Δ,Δ,Δ,Δ,Δ,Δ)/ (Λ,Λ,Λ,Λ,Λ,Λ)‐fac stereoisomers. The structures of 6 and 7 were unequivocally resolved by single‐crystal X‐ray analyses. The all‐iron(III) character of 6 and 7 was determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy.
