Abstract: The decanuclear iron (III) molecular ferric wheel complex, (Fe(OMe)2(O2CCH2Cl))10 results due to methanolysis of iron monochloroacetate and ferric nitrate. A previously unknown circular ring structure occurs due to geometry-induced convex and concave curvatures. The circular structure does not significantly affect the Mossbauer and geometric properties of the individual iron sites in the complex.
