The compounds have been identified and studied by CHN analysis, electron spectroscopy (diffuse reflection spectroscopy), IR, Mössbauer, and EXAFS spectroscopies, X-ray powder diffraction, and static magnetic susceptibility. The structures of the coordination knots of complexes [FeL<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>]B<jats:sub>10</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>10</jats:sub>⋅2H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O and [FeL<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>]B<jats:sub>12</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>12</jats:sub>⋅H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O has been obtained by modeling the EXAFS spectra. The ligand is coordinated by the iron(II) ion in a tridentate-cyclic manner by two nitrogen atoms of imidazole cycles and a nitrogen atom of pyridine to form the FeN<jats:sub>6</jats:sub>coordination knot. The study of the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in the range of 80–500 K has showed that the high-temperature spin-crossover<jats:sup>1</jats:sup><jats:italic>А</jats:italic><jats:sub>1</jats:sub>↔<jats:sup>5</jats:sup><jats:italic>Т</jats:italic><jats:sub>2</jats:sub>manifests itself in the obtained compounds.</jats:p></jats:sec>
