Structural Transformations and Magnetic Effects Induced by Solvent Exchange in the Spin Crossover Complex [Fe(bpp) 2 ][Cr(bpy)(ox) 2 ] 2
Structural, thermal, magnetic and solvent-exchange properties of the spin crossover compound [Fe(bpp)2][Cr(bpy)(ox)2]2 containing paramagnetic anions are given. This complex salt 1 crystallises as a dihydrate with two inequivalent (high-spin and low-spin) FeII sites. The dehydrated compound is a spin-crossover material with T1/2 ↑ = 369 K and T1/2 ↓ = 353 K. Rehydration takes place without loss of crystallinity, yielding a polymorph (2) with 100 % high-spin Fe II sites. The different high-spin fractions in 1 and 2 have been correlated to structural changes in the FeII second coordination sphere. The magnetic response to the presence of different sorbed molecules has also been explored. © Wi…
Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of iron (II), cobalt (II) and nickel (II) complexes of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine and paramagnetic counterions
Abstract Iron (II), cobalt (II) and nickel (II) complexes of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (bpp) with [Cr(C2O4)3]3− have been prepared. They were characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal gravimetric analyses. All three compounds are isostructural and they are formed by isolated [MII(bpp)2]2+ and [Cr(C2O4)3]3− complexes and free ClO4 −. As expected, only the salt [Fe(bpp)2]2[Cr(C2O4)3]ClO4·5H2O shows a thermal spin transition with transition temperature (T1/2) around 375 K that is correlated to the loss of water molecules.
Pressure-tuning of magnetism and linkage isomerism in iron(II) hexacyanochromate.
A pressure-induced linkage isomerization of the cyanide anion has been observed in single crystals of a chromium(III)-iron(II) Prussian blue analogue of formula K0.4Fe4[Cr(CN)6]2.8 square1.2.16H2O (1). Upon application of pressure in the 0-1200 MPa range, the cyanide ligand rotates and becomes C-bonded to the iron(II) cations, leading to a stabilization of their diamagnetic low-spin states. The result is a decrease of magnetization and magnetic ordering temperatures from TC = 19 K at ambient pressure to 13 K at 1200 MPa. The initial magnetic properties can be restored on pressure release. The reversible movement of cyanide in the solid state can be exploited as a switch of the magnetic inte…
Spin crossover FeII complexes as templates for bimetallic oxalate-based 3D magnets
Abstract We present the synthesis and structural characterization of the salt [Fe(bpp)2][MnCr(ox)3]2 · bpp · CH3OH. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group. This material contains an anionic [MnCr(ox)3]− 3D 10-gon ferromagnetic network, that orders below 3.0 K. The channels created by this architecture are filled by the spin crossover cations [Fe(bpp)2]2+ (bpp = 2,6(bispyrazol-3-yl)pyridine), free ligand and solvent molecules. No spin transition has been observed at ambient pressure.
