Here we report the synthesis and characterization of diiron complexes containing triaryl N 4 and N 2 S 2 ligands derived from o -phenylenediamine. The complexes display significant differences in Fe-Fe distances and magnetic properties that depend on the identity of the flanking NMe 2 and SMe donor groups.
