A series of bulky iron(III) alkoxides was synthesized by a ligand exchange reaction using [Fe(O t Bu) 3 ] 2 and 2,4‐dimethylpentan‐3‐ol (H Odp ). The resulting complexes are dimers, structural details are compared based on single crystal structure analyses. Investigation of the thermal properties shows a decrease of the melting point upon exchange of the tert ‐butoxy by Odp – ligands. Thermolysis leads to volatile products and the formation of phase pure hematite.
