4,4'-Dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the related linear azomethine, the intermediates at the formation of iron(III)-containing complexes, were synthesized. These compounds were characterized by thin layer chromatography, elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and by the data of differential scanning calorimetry. The aldehyde and the azomethine show mesomorphic properties. DOI: 10.1134/S1070363211090192

An iron(III)-containing complex with the asymmetric tridentate azomethine ligand 4,4'-dodecyloxybenzoyloxybenzoyl-4-salicylidene-N'-ethyl-N-ethylenediamine with a PF (6) (-) counterion is obtained. The presence of the complexing ion is confirmed by far IR Fourier spectra. The structure of the compounds is determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with a time-of-flight mass analyzer (MALDI-ToF). The results of mass spectrometric studies are consistent with the elemental analysis data. It is found that the complexation of iron salt with an asymmetric tridentate ligand results in the formation of compounds of the composition 1:1 with octahedral packing of a metal ion in the complex. The electrochemical behavior of the compound in organic solvents is examined. The EPR study shows that iron(III) ions are in both low spin (LS) and high spin (HS) states in the complex. The LS and HS iron(III) centers are coupled into dimers in which a water molecule and the PF (6) (-) counterion act as bridges. It is also found that for LS complexes in the lowtemperature phase (4.2-300 K), the (d (xz) ,d (yz) )(4)(d (xy) )(1) electronic state is the ground state. It is revealed that the conversion of the sample into a high-temperature liquid crystalline (387-405 K) phase is accompanied by the conversion of the LS states of the Fe(III) ion: (d (xz) ,d (yz) )(4)(d (xy) )(1) a dagger" (d (xy) )(2)(d (xz) ,d (yz) )(3). The conversion of LS states is temperature reversible and is driven by the temperature. X-ray crystallographic data confirm that the compound obtained consists of dimer formed by a hydrogen (O-H...F) bond.
