Spin crossover star-shaped metallomesogens of iron(II).
2014
Three new types of spin crossover (SCO) metallomesogens of Fe-II based on symmetric tripod ligands and their magnetic and structural properties are reported here. These were obtained by condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)-amin (tren) with the aldehyde derived from 3-alkoxy-6-methylpyridine (mpyN, N (number of carbon atoms in n-alkyl chains) = 8, 18), 1-alkyl-1H-imidazole (imN, N = 4, 16, 18, 20, 22), or 1-alkyl-1H-benzimidazole (bimN, N = 6, 14, 16, 18, 20). A complex derived from 1-octadecyl-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole (nim18) retains the high spin state at any temperature. Single crystals of the short-chain complexes were investigated by a combination of X-ray crystallography, magnetic meas…
