Abstract: Antimicrobial activities of Fe(II) and Fe(III) complexes of the composition Fe(OEPh₃)₄(ClO₄)_n (E = P or As; n = 2 or 3) are described. The perchlorate Fe(II) complexes show higher antimicrobial activity than the Fe(III) complexes and the triphenylphoshine oxide complexes are generally more antimicrobially effective than the triphenylarsine oxide ones. Properties of the studied perchlorate complexes are compared with those of other iron-OEPh₃ complexes.
