“Metalloautism” —this term perfectly describes the characteristic of the adamantanoid iron(III) chelate complex 1 that the four iron centers do not interact with each other either electronically or magnetically. The four metal atoms are linked by six chelating ligands ( 2 ), which are prepared by deprotonation of the product of the condensation of terephthaloyl chloride and dimethyl malonate.
