Iron complexes including polyimidazole and exchangeable ligands are studied with the aim of modeling the structural and functional features of the non-heme iron centers of dinuclear proteins, such as methane monooxygenase. In [Fe(2)OL(2)(MeOH)(2)(NO(3))(2)](NO(3))(2) (1) (L = 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine), each Fe(III) is in a distorted octahedral environment and has a donor set o...
