A crown composed purely of inorganic components forms the core of complex cation 1 . Interest in this polyiron ion is based on its potential relevance to intermediates in the formation of the ferritin core and the hydrolytic polymerization of Fe III salts. The crown structure is supported by the inclusion of a sodium ion within the Fe 6 O 6 ring.
