description

Abstract The magnetism of a series of tetranuclear complexes of the [ Fe II 4 L 4 ]( BF 4 ) 8 [2×2] -grid-type was investigated, revealing the occurrence of spin-transition (ST) behavior within this class of compounds. The phenomenon depends directly on the nature of the substituent R1 of the ligand L . All FeII ions in compounds with R1 substituents favoring strong ligand fields ( R 1 = H ; OH ) remain completely in the diamagnetic low-spin state. Only the complex bearing R1=Ph exhibits thermally induced ST behavior.
