Iron (II) isothiocyanate complexes with substituted pyrazines: Experimental and theoretical views on their electronic structure

Abstract Synthesis, structural, magnetic, Mossbauer and thermal studies of isothiocyanate iron (II) complexes with substituted pyrazines (iodo-, bromo- and amino-derivatives) are discussed here. Complexes with iodo- and bromo-derivatives were found to have the composition [Fe(Ipz)2(SCN)2(H2O)2]·2Ipz (1) and [Fe(Brpz)2(SCN)2(H2O)2]·2Brpz (2), whereas in the case of amino-functionalized pyrazine the formation of [Fe(NH2pz)4(SCN)2] (3) was observed. 3D organization of the molecular complexes is stabilized within different hydrogen, halogen and lone pair–π interactions. Spin state of iron (II) ions in 1–3 was determined as high spin by Mossbauer and magnetic measurements. DFT calculations for t…

Indefinitely stable iron(IV) cage complexes formed in water by air oxidation

In nature, iron, the fourth most abundant element of the Earth's crust, occurs in its stable forms either as the native metal or in its compounds in the +2 or +3 (low-valent) oxidation states. High-valent iron (+4, +5, +6) compounds are not formed spontaneously at ambient conditions, and the ones obtained synthetically appear to be unstable in polar organic solvents, especially aqueous solutions, and this is what limits their studies and use. Here we describe unprecedented iron(IV) hexahydrazide clathrochelate complexes that are assembled in alkaline aqueous media from iron(III) salts, oxalodihydrazide and formaldehyde in the course of a metal-templated reaction accompanied by air oxidation…
