description

The Lamb-Mossbauer factor in spin crossover compounds has been the subject of controversial discussions in the literature. For several compounds, a significantly larger Lamb-Mossbauer factor for the complex molecules in the low-spin (fls) than in the high-spin (fhs) state has been reported, while for compounds studied in our laboratory such differences could not be observed. We prepared the compound Fe(tpa)(NCS)2, thef factors of which were reported to be very different. We could not prove thef factors of this compound to be different. The implications of a different structural phase of compound prepared by us are discussed.
