Electronic Relaxation Phenomena Following 57Co(EC)57Fe Nuclear Decay in [MnII(terpy)2](ClO4)2·1/2H2O and in the Spin Crossover Complexes [CoII(terpy)…

2001

The valence states of the nucleogenic 57Fe arising from the nuclear disintegration of radioactive 57Co by electron capture decay, 57Co(EC)57Fe, have been studied by Mossbauer emission spectroscopy (MES) in the 57Co-labeled systems:  [57Co/Co(terpy)2]Cl2·5H2O (1), [57Co/Co(terpy)2](ClO4)2·1/2H2O (2), and [57Co/Mn(terpy)2](ClO4)2· 1/2H2O (3) (terpy = 2,2‘:6‘,2‘ ‘-terpyridine). The compounds 1, 2, and 3 were labeled with ca. 1 mCi of 57Co and were used as the Mossbauer sources at variable temperatures between 300 K and ca. 4 K. [Fe(terpy)2]X2 is a diamagnetic low-spin (LS) complex, independent of the nature of the anion X, while [Co(terpy)2]X2 complexes show gradual spin transition as the temp…

A Family of Dinuclear Iron(II) SCO Compounds Based on a 1,3,4‐Thiadiazole Bridging Ligand

2015

A new family of dinuclear iron(II) spin-crossover (SCO) compounds with the formula [Fe2(μ-L)2]X4, with three different counteranions [X = BF4– (1), ClO4– (2) and F3CSO3– (3)], was prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and Mossbauer measurements. These are the first dinuclear iron(II) SCO complexes with a 1,3,4-thiadiazole bridging ligand L {with L = 2,5-bis[(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole}. The magnetic measurements reveal a gradual and incomplete SCO of the three compounds around room temperature, starting from a diamagnetic [LS–LS] state. The diamagnetic ground state is in agreement with the single-crys…

Synthesis of Nanocrystals and Particle Size Effects Studies on the Thermally Induced Spin Transition of the Model Spin Crossover Compound [Fe(phen)2(…

2015

Surfactant-free nanocrystals of the model spin-crossover compound [Fe(phen)2(NCS)2] (phen: 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized applying the reverse micelle technique. The morphology of the nanocrystals, characterized by scanning electronic microscopy, corresponds to rhombohedric platelets with dimensions ranging from 203 × 203 × 106 nm to 142 × 142 × 74 nm. Variation of the concentration of the Fe(BF4)2·6H2O salt in the synthesis has been found to have little influence on the crystallite size. In contrast, the solvent-surfactant ratio (ω) is critical for a good particle growth. The spin transition of the nanocrystals has been characterized by magnetic susceptibility measurements and …

Fifty Years of Mössbauer Spectroscopy in Solid State Research - Remarkable Achievements, Future Perspectives

2011

Mossbauer spectroscopy was founded more than fifty years ago based on an outstanding discovery by the young German physicist Rudolf Ludwig Mossbauer while working on his Ph.D. thesis. He discovered the recoilless nuclear resonance fluorescence of gamma radiation and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1961 as one of the youngest recipients of this most prestigious award. His discovery led to the development of a new technique for measurements of hyperfine interactions between nuclear moments and electromagnetic fields. This method, with highest sharpness of tuning of 10–13, yields information on valence state, symmetry, magnetic behavior, phase transition, lattice dynamics and other s…

Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of a Tris[3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole]iron(II) Spin-Crossover Complex

2000

The synthesis and characterization of tris[3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole]iron(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), obtained from the reaction of 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (Hpt) and hexaaquairon(II) tetrafluoroborate, [Fe(H2O)6](BF4)2, is described, together with its crystal structures at two temperatures. X-ray crystallographic parameters are as follows: [Fe(Hpt)3](BF4)2·nH2O (n ≈ 2) at 250 K: orthorhombic space group Pbam, a = 15.8068(18) A, b = 17.2800(14) A, c = 21.215(2) A, V = 5794.7(10) A3, and Z = 8. [Fe(Hpt)3](BF4)2·nH2O (n ≈ 2) at 95 K: orthorhombic space group Pbam, a = 15.7080(12) A, b = 17.1023(16) A, c = 21.006(2) A, V = 5643.1(9) A3, and Z = 8. The FeII ions are (at both temper…

The Iron Hydrido Complex [FeH(dppe)2]+: Solution and Solid-State Reactivity with Dinitrogen

2006

The blue compound [FeH(dppe)2]BPh4 (1) (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) is investigated by optical absorption, vibrational, NMR and Mossbauer spectroscopy as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements. In the solid state, 1 is found to be paramagnetic (S=1) whereas in tetrahydrofuran (thf) solution it is diamagnetic. Importantly, 1 reacts with dinitrogen in thf solution and in the solid state to give the yellow and green dinitrogen complexes 2a and 2b, respectively, both of which have the formula [FeH(N2)(dppe)2]BPh4. Apart from their colour and optical spectroscopic properties, the dinitrogen compounds 2a and 2b also differ in their magnetic, Mossbauer and vibrational properties…

The preparation and identification of phases from the tin(II) chloride glycylglycinate system

1982

Abstract Two new distinct products, SnCl 2 ·2(C 4 H 8 N 2 O 3 ) and ClSn(C 4 H 7 N 2 O 3 ) can be obtained from the SnCl 2 : C 4 H 8 N 2 O 3 system. The IR, 119 Sn Mossbauer and thermal analytical data for the products are reported and discussed in terms of the bonding in these compounds.

Physicochemical Characterization of Isomorphously Substituted FeZSM-5 during Activation

2002

Physicochemical characteristics of isomorphously substituted FeZSM-5 both after preparation and after activation have been determined by gas (Ar and N2) physisorption, 27Al and 29Si magic-angle spinning–nuclear magnetic resonance, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, transmission electron microscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, and voltammetric response techniques. The activation of as-synthesized FeZSM-5 comprises calcination at 823 K and a subsequent steam treatment (300 mbar of H2O in N2) at 873 K. Calcination leads to complete removal of the template. During this process a significant fraction of iron is dislodged to extraframework positions…

Mössbauer effect study of the electronic ground state of iron(II) in [57FexM1−x(bipy)3](ClO4)2 (M = Mn, Ni, Zn) and [57FexM1−x(phen)3](ClO4)2 (M = Ni…

1980

Earlier work in our laboratory on the effect of metal dilution on the 5T2(Oh ⇌ 1A1(Oh) equilibrium in polycrystalline spin crossover systems of iron(II) has shown that the relative stability of the high spin state, 5T2(Oh), at a given temperature, increases markedly with decreasing iron concentration. These results have initiated the present work. Using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, we have investigated the electronic ground state of iron(II) in the highly diluted solid solutions [FexM1−xL3] with L = bipy, M = Mn, Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005 and L = phen, M = Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005. Although the critical field potential (Vc) of the pure iron complexes, which are known to be low spin, is reported to be not …
