Spectroscopic, structural and magnetic investigations of iron(II) complexes based on 1-isopropyl- and 1-isobutyl-substituted tetrazole ligands
摘要:
Two partly new [Fe(intz)(6)](BF4)(2) complexes with n = 3 and 4 (i3tz = 1-isopropyl-1H-tetrazole, i4tz = 1-isobutyl-1H-tetrazole) were synthesized and characterised by X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements, vibrational, electronic and Fe-57-Mossbauer spectroscopy as well as DSC. The [Fe(i3tz)(6)](BF4)(2) complex was re-investigated and shows an incomplete spin transition at T-c similar to 109 K, while the [Fe(i4tz)(6)](BF4)(2) features a complete but rather gradual spin transition with T-1/2 = 223 K. In the lack of suitable crystals of [Fe(intz)(6)](BF4)(2) with n = 3 and 4, we synthesized crystals of [Ni(intz)(6)](BF4)(2) with n = 3 and 4, determined their X-ray crystal structures, and proved them to be homeotypic with the respective Fe-complexes by X-ray powder diffraction. DSC measurements showed an endothermic peak for the [Fe(i3tz)(6)](BF4)(2) around T = 260 K not corresponding to a spin transition and suggesting a structural phase transition at this temperature. A well-developed peak at T-p = 225 K matches the spin-transition temperature T-1/2 = 223 K for [Fe(i4tz)(6)](BF4)(2). (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT: N1-substituted tetrazoles are interesting ligands in transition metal coordination chemistry, especially in the field of spin crossover. Their synthesis is performed in most cases according to the Franke-synthesis, using a primary amine as reagent introducing the substitution pattern. To enhance flexibility in means of substrate scope, we developed a new protocol based on alkylation of lithium
of iron(II) spin-crossover (SCO) complexes with the general formula [Fe(i4tz)6]X2, where X = ClO4− (1), PF6− (2), SbF6− (3), or BF4− (4). Upon cooling, magnetic susceptibility measurements of compounds 1, 2 and 3 show a reversible one-step spincrossover (SCO) behaviour between HS (S = 2) and LS (S = 0) states without hysteresis. The ClO4− compound shows a gradual spin transition at T1/2 = 208 K at a
