Towards Molecular Conductors with a Spin‐Crossover Phenomenon:Crystal Structures, Magnetic Properties and Mössbauer Spectra of[Fe(salten)Mepepy][M(dmit) 2 ] Complexes
Three new iron(III) compounds of formula [Fe(salten)Mepepy][M(dmit)2]·CH3CN (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; H2salten = 4-azaheptamethylene-1,7-bis(salicylideneiminate); Mepepy = 1-(pyridin-4-yl)-2-(N-methylpyrrol-2-yl) ethane; dmit2– = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato) have been synthesised and the crystal structure of each compound has been solved at different temperatures. The structures consist of alternating layers of [M(dmit)2]– units and [Fe(salten)Mepepy] cations. In the Ni compound photo-isomerisation of the Mepepy ligand can be observed in dichloromethane solution. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the compounds reveals a gradual S = 5/2 blabla S = 1/2 spin crossove…
Crystal structure, magnetic properties and Mössbauer studies of [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2]
Abstract A new compound of formula [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2] (1) has been synthesised, structurally and magnetically characterised (qsalH = N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine, dmit2− = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato). Its structural features and its magnetic behaviour were compared with those of [Fe(qsal)2]-based complexes, and more particularly [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2] · 2CH3CN.
