Abstract The coordination of iron(II) ions by a homoditopic ligand L with two tridentate chelates leads to the tautomerism‐driven emergence complexity, isomeric tetramers and trimers as products. structures dominant [Fe II 4 ] 8+ complexes were determined X‐ray diffraction, distinctness products was confirmed ion‐mobility mass spectrometry. Moreover, these isomers display contrasting magnetic properties (Fe spin crossover vs. blocked Fe high‐spin state). These results demonstrate how metal...
