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.

Interplay of Antiferromagnetic Coupling and Spin Crossover in Dinuclear Iron(II) Complexes

2003

This article reports on the study of the interplay between magnetic coupling and spin transition in 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym)-bridged iron(II) dinuclear compounds. Coexistence of both phenomena has been observed in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)2]2bpym, [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)2]2bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2bpym (bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, bt = 2,2′-bithiazoline) by the action of external physical factors namely pressure or electromagnetic radiation. Competition between magnetic exchange and spin crossover has been studied in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)2]2bpym at 6.3 kbar. LIESST experiments carried out in [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)2]2bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2bpym at 4.2 K have shown that is possible to achieve dinuclear molecules with different…

Mixed spin-state [HS-LS] pairs in a dinuclear spin-transition complex: confirmation by variable-temperature 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy.

2008

Exquisite sensitivity of Mossbauer spectroscopy for tiny local molecular distortion is demonstrated in [FeII2(pmat)2](BF4)4?DMF: high-spin (HS) iron(II) in [HS-HS] and in [LS-HS] (low-spin–high-spin) pairs is clearly distinguished (see picture) for the first time without the need to apply a magnetic field. This dinuclear complex clearly shows that spin crossover via a [LS-HS] species is promoted by the use of a highly constrained bridging ligand (the bis-terdentate pmat).

X-ray structure study of the light-induced metastable states of the spin-crossover compound [Fe(mtz)6](BF4)2

2001

Iron(II) complexes exhibiting thermal spin-crossover may be converted from the1A1low-spin (LS) state to the5T2high-spin (HS) state by irradiation with green light (light-induced excited spin-state trapping, LIESST) and from the LS to the HS state by irradiation with red light (reverse LIESST). The lifetime of the metastable LIESST states may be sufficiently long to enable an X-ray diffraction study. The lattice parameters of a single crystal of [Fe(mtz)6](BF4)2(mtz = methyltetrazole) (space groupP21/n) were measured between 300 and 10 K. While one Fe lattice site (A) of the crystal changes from the HS to the LS state near 78 K, the other site (B) remains in the LS state. Using the green lig…

Spin Transitions in Iron(II) Complexes

1996

Iron(II) has the 3d6 outer electronic configuration and hence its octahedral complexes may be either high-spin or low-spin. The high-spin configuration, t 2g 4 e g 2 , is adopted when relatively weak-field ligands are coordinated while the low-spin, t 2g 6 e g 0 , is obtained when strong-field ligands are involved. In Oh symmetry the ground states are 5T2g and lA1g, for the high-spin and low-spin configurations, respectively. While in most iron(II) six-coordinate complexes the symmetry is lower than Oh, these designations are generally adopted in the following sections for convenience. [Fe(H2O)6]2+ and [Fe(en)3]2+ (en = ethylenediamine) are typical examples of high-spin complexes, while [Fe…

Mixed-Valence, Mixed-Spin-State, and Heterometallic [2×2] Grid-type Arrays Based on Heteroditopic Hydrazone Ligands: Synthesis and Electrochemical Fe…

2005

Une famille de complexes heterometalliques [M 1 2 M 2 2 (L - ) 4 ] n + du type grille [2×2] 1-9 a ete preparee. Les trois approches synthetiques multietapes des ligands hydrazone heteroditopiques A-C possedent chacune des caracteristiques regio-, redox-, enantio-selectives. Ces ligands possedent un groupement NH ionisable et un groupement hydrazone non-ionisable NMe, qui permettent un controle des proprietes redox du metal complexe en fonction de la charge de la cavite coordinante. Les substituants 2-pyrimidine (R) et 6-pyridine (R') influencent de maniere significative la geometrie des complexes formes ainsi que leurs proprietes electrochimiques et magnetiques. Les etudes par spectroscopie…

Spin-Crossover and Liquid Crystal Properties in 2D Cyanide-Bridged FeII−MI/II Metalorganic Frameworks

2010

Novel two-dimensional heterometallic Fe(II)-M(Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Ag(I), and Au(I)) cyanide-bridged metalorganic frameworks exhibiting spin-crossover and liquid crystal properties, formulated as {FeL(2)[M(I/II)(CN)(x)](y)}·sH(2)O, where L are the ligands 4-(4-alkoxyphenyl)pyridine, 4-(3,4-dialkoxyphenyl)pyridine, and 4-(3,4,5-trisalkoxyphenyl)pyridine, have been synthesized and characterized. The physical characterization has been carried out by means of EXAFS, X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, differential scanning measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The 2D Fe(II) metallomesogens undergo incomplete and continuous thermally induced spin transition at T(1/2) ≈ 170 …
