We report the synthesis and characterization of a coordination architecture with Fe(ii) center obtained by subcomponent self-assembly in water. The complex is based on very rare hemi-iminal ligands spontaneously generated from commercially available materials. can be further transformed into another species oxidation reaction both metal organic ligand.
