Four new dipyridylamino-substituted s-triazine ligands DBB (N2,N2,N4,N4-tetrabenzyl-N6,N6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine), DDB (N2,N2,N4,N4-tetrabutyl-N6,N6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine), DCCl (6-chloro-N2,N2-dicyclohexyl-N4,N4-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) and DDT (N2,N2,N4,N4-tetraphenyl-N6,N6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine), have been incorporated into eight new, 0D FeII compounds of type [FeII(NCX)2(L)2]·Solvent (where NCX = NCS−, NCSe− or N(CN)2−). The polymorphic compounds α-trans-[FeII(NCS)2(DBB)2] (1) and β-trans-[FeII(NCS)2(DBB)2] (2) display, respectively, a relatively abrupt, complete, one-step spin transition with T½ ∼ 170 K, and a more gradual, complete, one-step spin transition with T½ ∼ 300 K. Gradual, one-step spin transitions are observed for trans-[FeII(N(CN)2)2(DBB)2]·2CH3CH2OH (3) and trans-[FeII(NCSe)2(DCCl)2]·2CH3OH (6) with T½ ∼ 280 K for both, while the one-step spin transition observed for a desolvated sample of trans-[FeII(NCSe)2(DDB)2]·2CH3OH (4) is relatively abrupt, showing hysteresis with T½↑ = 285 K and T½↓ = 275 K. The compounds cis-[FeII(NCS)2(DDB)2] (5) and trans-[FeII(NCS)2(DDT)2]·4CH2Cl2 (7) remain high spin, while structural data on trans-[FeII(NCSe)2(DDT)2]·4CH2Cl2 (8) suggests a spin transition at low temperatures. It is likely that distortion of the FeIIN6 octahedron, intermolecular interactions and molecular conformation are crucial in deciding both the T½ and abruptness of the spin transition for these species, although the nature of their influence varies. Variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction measurements on the polymorphs 1 and 2 reveal anisotropy in the unit cell parameters as the spin transition occurs.
四种新的二吡啶氨基取代的 s-三嗪配体 DBB(N2,N2,N4,N4-四苄基-N6,N6-二(吡啶-2-基)-1,3,5-三嗪-2,4、6-三胺)、DDB(N2,N2,N4,N4-四丁基-N6,N6-二(吡啶-2-基)-1,3,5-三嗪-2,4,6-三胺)、DCCl(6-氯-N2,N2-二环己基-N4、二(吡啶-2-基)-1,3,5-三嗪-2,4-二胺)和 DDT(N2,N2,N4,N4-四苯基-N6,N6-二(吡啶-2-基)-1,3,5-三嗪-2,4,6-三胺)、[FeII(NCX)2(L)2]-溶剂(其中 NCX = NCS-、NCSe- 或 N(CN)2-)。α-反式-[FeII(NCS)2(DBB)2] (1) 和 β-反式-[FeII(NCS)2(DBB)2] (2) 的多晶型化合物在温度为 T½ ∼ 170 K 时分别显示出相对突然、完全的一步自旋转变,而在温度为 T½ ∼ 300 K 时则显示出更为渐进、完全的一步自旋转变。在反式-[FeII(N(CN)2)2(DBB)2]-2CH3CH2OH (3) 和反式-[FeII(NCSe)2(DCCl)2]-2CH3OH (6) 中观察到渐进的一步自旋转变,两者的 T½ 均为 280 K、而在反式-[FeII(NCSe)2(DDB)2]-2CH3OH (4)的去溶剂样品中观察到的一步自旋转变则相对突然,在 T½↑ = 285 K 和 T½↓ = 275 K 时出现滞后。顺式-[FeII(NCS)2(DDB)2](5) 和反式-[FeII(NCS)2(DDT)2]-4CH2Cl2 (7)保持高自旋,而反式-[FeII(NCSe)2(DDT)2]-4CH2Cl2 (8)的结构数据表明在低温下会发生自旋转变。FeIIN6 八面体的变形、分子间的相互作用和分子构象很可能是决定这些物种自旋转变的温度和突然性的关键因素,尽管它们的影响性质各不相同。对多晶体 1 和 2 进行的变温粉末 X 射线衍射测量显示,在发生自旋转变时,单胞参数具有各向异性。
