The synthesis, structure, and magnetism of a nonanuclear iron(III) phosphonate, [Fe 9 III (μ 3 ‐O) 4 (O 3 PC 5 H 9 ) 3 (O 2 CCMe 3 ) 13 ] · (EtOH) 0.5 · (Et 2 O) 0.5 ( 1 ), is described. Compound 1 was obtained in the direct reaction of anhydrous ferric chloride, cyclopentylphosphonic acid, and pivalic acid in the presence of triethylamine. Compound 1 possesses a distorted icosahedral structure; nine of the vertices are occupied by Fe III , whereas three others are occupied by the phosphorus atoms of the cyclopentylphosphonate ligand. Mössbauer spectroscopy of 1 confirms the presence of high‐spin Fe III . Low‐temperature magnetic studies reveal the presence of strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the Fe 3+ ions.
