A central μ3—O moiety linking two FeIII and one CeIII sites supported by two distinct heterometallic carboxylate bridging modes features in self-assembled [CeFe2(bpy)2(μ3—O)(μ—L)2(μ—LH)2(LH)(H2O)2]·0.5(bpy)·7H2O (1) (LH2 = glycolic acid), and the structure models potential bonding modes of the Rare Earth corrosion inhibitor Ce(glycolate)3 to iron or iron oxide.
