Thermal and Light-Induced Spin Transition in the High- and Low-Temperature Structure of [Fe0.35Ni0.65(mtz)6](ClO4)2
The thermal and light induced spin transition in [Fe(0.35)Ni(0.65)(mtz)(6)](ClO(4))(2) (mtz = 1-methyl-1H-tetrazole) was studied by (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. In addition to the spin transition of the iron(II) complexes the compound undergoes a structural phase transition. The high-temperature structure could be determined by X-ray crystallography of the isomorphous [Fe(0.25)Ni(0.75)(mtz)(6)](ClO(4))(2) complex at room temperature. The X-ray structural analysis shows this complex to be rhombohedric, space group Rthremacr;, with a = 10.865(2) Å and c = 23.65(1) Å with three molecules in the unit cell. The transition to the low-temperature structur…
Substituent effects on the spin equilibrium in iron(II) pyrazolylborate complexes
Abstract Two new complexes of the iron(II) pyrazolylborate system, [Fe(HB(pz)(dmpz) 2 ) 2 ] and [Fe(HB(pz) 2 (dmpz)) 2 ] (pz = pyrazole, dmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole), have been prepared and found to exhibit thermal spin crossover in toluene solutions by means of optical spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Comparison with the published magnetic behaviour of the complexes [Fe(HB(dmpz) 3 ) 2 ] and [Fe(HB(pz) 3 ) 2 ] shows that the high spin state is stabilized with an increasing number of methyl substituents.
