Remarkable Steric Effects and Influence of Monodentate Axial Ligands L on the Spin-Crossover Properties of trans-[FeII(N4 ligand)L] Complexes

2007

Iron(II) complexes obtained from tetradentate, rigid, linear N4 ligands have been investigated to appraise the influence of steric effects and the impact of trans-coordinated anions on the spin-transition behavior. As expected, the well-designed ligands embrace the metal center, resulting in octahedral iron(II) complexes where the basal plane is fully occupied by the pyridine/pyrazole N4 ligand, while anions or solvent molecules are exclusively axially coordinated. Precursor complexes, namely, [Fe(bpzbpy)(MeOH)2](BF4)2 (where bpzbpy symbolizes the ligand 6,6'-bis(N-pyrazolylmethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine) and [Fe(mbpzbpy)(MeOH)2](BF4)2 (where mbpzbpy symbolizes the ligand 6,6'-bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-p…

The conformation of pyrogallol as a result of cocrystallization with N-heterocyclic bases

2012

Structural analysis of the supramolecular cocrystals formed by pyrogallol with acridine, 4,4′-bipyridine, and 1,10-phenanthroline shows that the studied cocrystals are assembled via the hydroxyl–pyridine heterosynthon. In the crystal and molecular structures of these cocrystals in order to form the maximum number of hydrogen bonds, taking into consideration steric effects, the pyrogallol moiety in the supramolecular arrangement has the following conformations: with acridine - syn1, 4,4′-bipyridine - anti, and 1,10-phenanthroline - syn2. Discrete supramolecular complexes are formed by acridine–pyrogallol and the 1,10-phenanthroline–pyrogallol polymorph I. The 1,10-phenanthroline–pyrogallol p…
