Abstract Two new mononuclear iron(III) Schiff base complexes [Fe(L1)2]SCN (1) and [Fe(L2)(HL3)]ClO4 (2) {where HL1 = 1-((3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol, H2L2 = N,N′-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene)2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine and HL3 = 2-((3-amino-2,2-dimethylpropylimino)methyl)-6-ethoxyphenol} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental and several spectral analyses. Single crystal X-ray structure determination confirmed their structures. Structural features have been examined in details that reveal the formation of interesting supramolecular networks generated through weak non-covalent interaction. Both complexes are able to show catechol oxidase mimicking activity and kinetics of the reactions are monitored spectrophotometrically.
