107-111lron(lll) complexes of salicylaldehyde 4-methoxybenzoyl hydrazone, (H2smbhon), have been isolated and the reactions of [Fe(smbhon) (Cl) (H2O)]2 with SnCl2 and CH3CN are discussed. These complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, molar conductance values, magnetic susceptibilities, molecular weights and spectroscopic (electronic,infrared and Mössbauer) data. Depending on the reaction conditions, the ligand may function as a dibasic tridentate, monobasic or neutral bidentate ligand
