The orange-red colored complexes of the type [Fe(L-SB)Cl-3], 1, have been synthesized in excellent yields by reacting FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O with L-SB in methanol. Here, L-SB is (2-(ethylthio)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethanamine), (L-SB(1)) and (2-(benzylthio)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) ethanamine) (L-SB(2)). Similarly, FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O reacted with 2-(((2-(ethylthio) ethyl) (pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) methyl) phenol (HL1), 2-(((2-(ethylthio) ethyl)(pyridin- 2 ylmethyl) amino) methyl)-4-nitrophenol (HL2), 4-chloro-2-(((2-(ethylthio) ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino) methyl) phenol (HL3), 2-(((2-(benzylthio) ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) methyl) phenol (HL4), 2-(((2-(benzylthio) ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) methyl) -4-nitrophenol (HL5), and 4-chloro-2-(((2( benzylthio) ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) amino) methyl) phenol (HL6) to give dichloro complexes of the type [Fe(L) Cl-2], 2. The solid and solution structure of the complexes, as well as their properties, were probed using X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The Mssbauer spectral study at 80 K for complexes reveals the existence of (III) oxidation state and high-spin state of the metal center in the complex. Dioxygenase activity of the complexes has been studied and both 1 and 2 have been found to display the intradiol-cleaving pathway. However, no extradiol cleavage products have been isolated.
