Chiroptical and magnetic properties of star-shaped Fe-4(III) complexes from chiral Schiff bases. Structural and magnetic correlations based on continuous shape measures

New chiral Fe-4(III) star-shaped complexes have been synthesized starting from enantiomerically pure Schiff bases and chiroptically and magnetically characterized. The structural and magnetic properties of the complete family of 40 Fe-4 complexes reported in the literature have been analyzed in the search for synthetic and magnetostructural correlations
