Mossbauer spectroscopic study of the thermal spin crossover in [Fe(II)(isoxazole)(6)](ClO(4))(2)

The (57)Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy of mononuclear [Fe(II)(isoxazole)(6)](ClO(4))(2) has been studied to reveal the thermal spin crossover of Fe(II) between low-spin (S = 0) and high-spin (S = 2) states.Temperature-dependent spin transition curves have been constructed with the least-square fitted data obtained from the Mossbauer spectra measured at various temperatures between 84 and 270 K during a cooling and heating cycle. This compound exhibits an unusual temperature-dependent spin transition behaviour with T(C)(down arrow) = 223 and T(C)(up arrow) = 213 K occurring in the reverse order in comparison to those observed in SQUID observation and many other spin transition compounds. The comp…

Dimetallic complexes derived from a novel dinucleating chelating symmetric triazole ligand; crystal structure, magnetic properties and ESR study of bis[μ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O ′,N 1,N 2,O ″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] ‡

Reaction of 3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazole (Hdaat) with copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) salts yields dinuclear co-ordination compounds, which were spectroscopically characterized. The crystal and molecular structure of one of the compounds, bis[µ-3,5-diacetylamino-1,2,4-triazolato-O′,N 1,N 2,O″]bis[(nitrato)(aqua)copper(II)] 1, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 consists of dinuclear units with an inversion center at the midpoint of the Cu–Cu vector. The most remarkable feature of this structure is that the daat ligand forms a six-membered chelate ring [Cu–N3–C3–N1–C2–O1; Cua–N4–C4–N5–C5–O2], in contrast with the five-membered chelate rings always found in…

Pressure induced increase in Tc for the organic-based magnet FeII(TCNE)2 (TCNE=tetracyanoethylene)

Abstract Pressure dependent magnetization and 57Fe Mossbauer studies were performed on Fe(TCNE)[C4(CN)8]1/2·zCH2Cl2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene). Pressure did not influence the Mossbauer parameters in paramagnetic state. Mossbauer data reveals the onset of magnetic ordering at 130 K and significant enhancement of the magnetic ordering temperature from 100 to 150 K accompanied by an increase of the spontaneous magnetization, which is higher than reported from the magnetic data, and application of pressure induces the reversible formation of a new, metastable magnetic species. These changes suggest an increase of the dimensionality of magnetic interaction, i.e., stronger interlayer coupling. A…

Study of thermal spin crossover in [Fe(II)(isoxazole)(6)](BF4)(2) with Mossbauer spectroscopy

Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy of the mononuclear [Fe( II)( isoxazole)(6)]( BF4)(2) compound has been studied to reveal the thermal spin crossover of Fe( II) between low- spin ( S = 0) and high- spin ( S = 2) states. A temperature-dependent spin transition curve has been constructed with the least- square fitted data obtained from the Mossbauer spectra measured at various temperatures in the 240 - 60 K range during the cooling and heating cycle. The compound exhibits a temperature- dependent two- step spin transition phenomenon with T-SCO ( step 1) = 92 and TSCO ( step 2) = 191 K. The compound has three highspin Fe( II) sites at the highest temperature of study; among them, two have slightly …
