The first confacial pentaoctahedron comprised of transition metal ions namely Zn II Fe III A Fe III B Fe III A Zn II has been synthesized by using a dinucleating nonadentate ligand. The face‐sharing bridging mode enforces short Zn II ⋅⋅⋅Fe III A and Fe III A ⋅⋅⋅Fe III B distances of 2.83 and 2.72 Å, respectively. Ab‐initio CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations provide significant negative zero‐field splittings for Fe III A and Fe III B with | D A |>| D B | with the main component along the C 3 axis. Hence, a spin‐Hamiltonian comprised of anisotropic exchange, zero‐field, and Zeeman term was employed. This allowed by following the boundary conditions from the theoretical results the simulation in a theory‐guided parameter determination with J xy =+0.37, J z =−0.32, D A =−1.21, E A =−0.24, D B =−0.35, and E B =−0.01 cm −1 supported by simulations of high‐field magnetic Mössbauer spectra recorded at 2 K. The weak but ferromagnetic Fe III A Fe III B interaction arises from the small bridging angle of 84.8° being at the switch from anti‐ to ferromagnetic for the face‐sharing bridging mode.
