We are currently exploring the electrochemical behavior of first row transition metal centers in tripodal ligand environments in order to examine how the range of available oxidation states is influenced by the ligand structure. Novel mono- and bis- nitrilotriacetate (NTA<sup>3-</sup>) iron complexes were synthesized to examine the range of stable oxidation states available to each complex. A new synthetic route to iron NTA<sup>3-</sup> complexes was applied and will be discussed in further detail. IR and UV-VIS spectroscopies and single crystal X-ray crystallography were used as methods for structure characterization. Cyclic voltammetry was used to characterize the electrochemical activity of each complex.
