title: A phenolysis route to a new type of octanuclear iron(III) wheel: [Fe8(OH)4(OPh)8(O2CBut)12].
abstract: Alcoholysis of [Fe6O2(OH)2(O2CBut)10(hep)2] (1) affords ferric wheels of different nuclearities: methanol yields [Fe10(OMe)20(O2CBut)10], whereas phenol gives the structurally unprecedented wheel [Fe8(OH)4(OPh)8(O2CBut)12], and the first to contain phenoxide.
