Inelastic neutron scattering recently confirmed the theoretical prediction of a ↑↑↓↓-magnetic state along the legs of quasi-one-dimensional iron-based ladders in the orbital-selective Mott phase (OSMP). We show here that electron doping of the OSMP induces a whole class of novel block states with a variety of periodicities beyond the previously reported π/2 pattern. We discuss the magnetic phase diagram of the OSMP regime that could be tested by neutrons once appropriate quasi-1D quantum materials with the appropriate dopings are identified.
