Novel mono- and trinuclear iron(III) complexes with mixed ligands, FeIII(acac)(N-PhO-sal)(MeOH) 1 and FeIII3(acac)(N-PhO-sal)4 2 have been prepared and characterized, where acacH and N-PhOH-salH denote acetylacetone and N-2-hydroxyphenyl-salicylideneamine, respectively. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities (2-350 K) for complex 2 indicate that there is an intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction among the iron(III) ions, and that spin-crossover behavior may take place from S = 5/2, 5/2 and 5/2 ground states to S = 1/2, 5/2 and 1/2 (Fe1, Fe2 and Fe1*) near 60 K and below.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
