The X-ray crystal structure of tris­[N-(2-hy­droxy­eth­yl)-2,2′-imino­di­ethano­l­ato]tris­(2,2′,2′′-nitrilo­tri­ethano­lato)tetra­iron(II)triiron(III) bis­(perchlorate), [Fe7(C6H12NO3)3(C6H13NO3)3](ClO4)2 or [Fe7(tea)3(tea-H)3](ClO4)2 (tea-H3 is tri­­ethano­lamine), is known from the literature [Liu et al. (2008). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 634, 778–783] as a hepta­nuclear coordination cluster. The space group was given as I213 and is reinvestigated in the present study. We find a new space-group symmetry of Pa\overline{3} and could detect O—H hydrogens, which were missing in the original publication. Consequences on the Fe oxidation states are investigated with the bond-valence method, resulting in a mixed-valence core of four FeII and three FeIII centres. Symmetry relationships between the two space groups and the average supergroup Ia\overline{3} are discussed in detail.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Entries for the literature structure were taken from the original publication. Entries for the present study were calculated using the ToposPro software (Version 5.3.0.3; Blatov et al., 2014) with parameters from Brown (2016b): R0(Fe3+—O) 1.759 Å; R0(Fe2+—O) 1.734 Å; R0(Fe3+—N) 1.82 Å; R0(Fe2+—N) 1.76 Å. A b value of 0.37 was used for all bonds.
