Spin crossover in iron(II) tris(2-(2′-pyridyl)benzimidazole) complex monitored by variable temperature methods: synchrotron powder diffraction, DSC, …

2003

Abstract The thermal expansion of the spin crossover system [Fe(pybzim) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2  · H 2 O (pybzim=2-(2 ′ -pyridyl)benzimidazole) has been determined from powder X-ray data between 50 and 250 K; the wavelength of the synchrotron source was 1.21888(1) A. The unit cell parameters of the triclinic crystal system were a =12.091 A, b =12.225 A, c =14.083 A, α =77.70°, β =80.35°, γ =74.35°, and V =1944.9 A 3 at 250 K. In addition to the linear thermal expansion of the unit cell volume, an extra expansion due to the low-spin (LS) to high-spin (HS) transition is observed. The V ( T ) function shows a sudden increase comparable with the step in the effective magnetic moment at the transition reg…

Spin Crossover in Fe(II) Molecular Compounds — Mössbauer and µSR Investigations

2002

The compound [Fe(ptz)6](C104)2 (ptz = 1-propyl-tetrazole) displays a complete and gradual spin crossover centred around 125 K as evidenced by magnetic and muon measurements over the temperature range ∼ 4.2–300 K. Although the crystal structure reveals only one crystallographic site, line broadening is observed in the Mossbauer spectra in the vicinity of the spin transition. The muon spin relaxation behaviour of this compound indicates that a structural transformation rather than dynamic processes may account for the observed spectral features. Both the Mossbauer and muon measurements are consistent with a mixture of high and low spin Fe ions in the transition region.

Coexistence of spin-crossover and antiferromagnetic coupling phenomena in the novel dinuclear Fe(II) complex [Fe(dpa)(NCS)2]2bpym

2003

Abstract The iron(II) spin crossover dinuclear compound [Fe(dpa)(NCS) 2 ] 2 bpym where dpa = 2,2 ′ -dipyridylamine and bpym = 2,2 ′ -bipyrimidine has been synthesized and characterized. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy data provide evidence for a rather complete and continuous S=2 ( HS )↔S=0 (LS) spin-crossover behavior taking place in the temperature range 400–50 K (T 1/2 =245 K ) without the presence of a plateau at 50% of conversion. The absence of such plateau, which is characteristic of all dinuclear compounds so far studied, is interpreted in terms of synergetic effect between intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.

Polymorphism and Pressure Driven Thermal Spin Crossover Phenomenon in [Fe(abpt)2(NCX)2] (X=S, and Se): Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Properties

2002

The monomeric compounds [Fe(abpt 2(NCX)2(X = S (1), Se (2) and abpt = 4-amino- 3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) have been synthesized and characterized. They crystallize in the monoclinic P21/n space group with a = 11.637(2) A, b = 9.8021(14) A, c = 12.9838(12) A, β = 101.126(14)°, and Z=2 for 1, and a= 11.601(2) A, b = 9.6666(14) A, c = 12.883(2) A, β = 101.449(10)°, and Z = 2 for 2. The unit cell contains a pair mononuclear [Fe(abpt)2(NCX)21 units related by a center of symmetry. Each iron atom, located at a molecular inversion center, is in a distorted octahedral environment. Four of the six nitrogen atoms coordinated to the Fe(II) ion belong to the pyridine-N(1) and triazole-N(2) r…

Selective Photoswitching of the Binuclear Spin Crossover Compound{[Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2(bpm)}into Two Distinct Macroscopic Phases

2005

The low-spin (LS-LS, $S=0$) diamagnetic form of the binuclear spin crossover complex ${[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{bt})(\mathrm{NCS}{)}_{2}{]}_{2}(\mathrm{bpm})}$ was selectively photoconverted into two distinct macroscopic phases at different excitation wavelengths (1342 or 647.1 nm). These long-lived metastable phases have been identified, respectively, as the symmetry-broken paramagnetic form (HS-LS, $\mathrm{S}=2$) and the antiferromagnetically coupled (HS-HS, $S=0$) high-spin form of the compound. The selectivity may be explained by the strong coupling of the primary excited states to the paramagnetic state.

Structural phase transition to disorder low-temperature phase in [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2 spin-crossover compounds.

2012

In the spin-crossover compound [Fe(ptz)6](BF4)2 (where ptz=1-n-propyltetrazole) six different phases are observed. When a single crystal is slowly cooled from high temperatures to those below 125 K, the reflections broaden into diffuse maxima and split into two maxima along the c* direction [Kusz, Gütlich & Spiering (2004). Top. Curr. Chem. 234, 129–153]. As both maxima are broad along the c* direction, the short-range order exists only along the c direction and in the ab plane the structure remains long-range ordered. In this disordered phase additional satellite reflections appear. Upon heating above 135 K, the diffuse maxima return to their previous shape and this process is complete…

Polymorphism and “reverse” spin transition in the spin crossover system [Co(4-terpyridone)2](CF3SO3)2·1H2O

2009

[EN] Compound [Co(4-terpyridone)(2)](CF3SO3)(2)center dot 1H(2)O, where 4-terpyridone is 2,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-4(1H)-pyridone, forms two polymorphs. Polymorph 1 displays a continuous spin conversion in the temperature region 300-120 K while polymorph 2 shows, on cooling, the onset of a continuous high-spin (HS) to low-spin (LS) conversion interrupted by an abrupt "reverse'' spin transition in the temperature region 217-203 K. The formed unstable HS intermediate phase (IP) undergoes a strong cooperative "normal'' spin transition characterised by a hysteresis loop 33 K wide. The structural data give support for a crystallographic phase transition, which takes place concomitantly with the "revers…

Contribution of X-Ray diffraction to the study of spin transitions in some iron (II) complexes

1991

Abstract A review of recent single crystal investigations under constraint of iron (II) spin crossover complexes is given. The systems covered are Fe L2 (NCS)2 complexes (L = Phen, Btz) and some analogous derivatives. Emphasis is laid on the correlations between structural changes associated with spin transitions and the experimentally determined characteristics of these transitions.
