Cover Story: Iron ions play a vital role in oxygen transport, substrates activation, and electron transfer mediation. These processes occur due to the versatile coordination ability of both Fe(II) and Fe(III). Here, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of iron(III) coordination species of the polyether ionophore monensin. With FeCl3, an antiferromagnetic dinuclear chloro-containing species is formed, where the metal ions are coupled via the antibiotic hydroxyl groups. Alternatively, with FeSO4, a trinuclear oxo-ferric complex results, in which the metal ions, fully oxidized by the atmospheric oxygen, are linked through the monensin carboxylate functions. Combining experimental (FT-IR, EPR, Mössbauer) and theoretical (DFT) chemistry tools, we derived reliable structures of these new iron(III) monensinates, which also exhibit a promising antibacterial activity.
