As far as I know Iron is used in many enzymes as the metal complex. Beyond this are there any biological uses for iron? All uses appreciated, ty.

Nope. Complexes are pretty much all iron does. The above poster's example of hemoglobin is an example of an iron complex.
Yes, but hemoglobin is a protein, not an enzyme, so his post is a valid example of another use of iron.
