Saddle in a spin : The saddle‐shaped octaethyltetraphenylporphyrin–imidazole complex [Fe III (oetpp)(HIm)] + adopts an essentially pure intermediate‐spin state between 298 and 173 K in CD 2 Cl 2 solution, the conditions under which the NMR spectra are recorded. This complex has shown, however, a novel spin transition from S =3/2 to S =5/2 and S =1/2 below 70 K. Thus, the complex exists as an equilibrium mixture of three spin isomers at 4 K.
