Calcium ions and organic ligands —in this case deprotonated erythritol—together are capable of reducing aggregation of oxoiron( III ) species to such an extent that well‐defined oxoclusters can be isolated. In the title cluster, an Fe 8 O 32 rutile core is extended by further iron centers to yield a hematite‐type microtwin (Fe 14 O 48 ; arrangement of iron centers depicted on the right), which may be related to metastable oxoiron( III ) phases in terms of structure and magnetism.
