Lamb-Mössbauer factor in the spin crossover compound Fe(tpa)(NCS)2
The Lamb-Mossbauer factor in spin crossover compounds has been the subject of controversial discussions in the literature. For several compounds, a significantly larger Lamb-Mossbauer factor for the complex molecules in the low-spin (fls) than in the high-spin (fhs) state has been reported, while for compounds studied in our laboratory such differences could not be observed. We prepared the compound Fe(tpa)(NCS)2, thef factors of which were reported to be very different. We could not prove thef factors of this compound to be different. The implications of a different structural phase of compound prepared by us are discussed.
Debye-Waller factor in the spin crossover complex Fe(ppi)2(NCS)2
Abstract Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements for the complex Fe(ppi) 2 (NCS) 2 in the temperature range 11–300 K indicate that the spin transition of this compound is incomplete until 11 K. The similar Debye-Waller factors in high spin (HS) and low spin (LS) states is shown by the comparison of the HS fractions from the two different methods. The Debye temperature of the compound was calculated from the defined Debye-Waller factors obtained from Mossbauer measurement at each experimental temperature and was found to depend on the temperature as well as on the HS fraction. The modification of the Debye-Waller factors in the HS and LS states for the HS fraction fro…
