A mixed valence tetranuclear iron complex [(Hpmide)Fe II (NCSe) 2 Fe III (pmide)] 2 ·5CH 3 OH (1) underwent oxidation and ligand exchange in the solid state (H 2 pmide = N -(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiethanol). Upon air oxidation, 1 was converted into [(pmide)Fe III (NCSe)Fe III (pmide)] 2 (NCSe) 2 ·2H 2 O (2), which was accompanied by deprotonation and ligand exchange through a single crystal-to-single-crystal transformation.
