Mannich reaction of 2-Amino propanol, 2-tertbutyl-4-methylphenol, and formaldehyde in the ratio of 1:2:2 provides a new compound, N-(1-propanol)-N,N-bis-((3-tert-butyl-5-methyl-2-hydroxybenxyl)amine (H 3 L), which has been characterized by X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis. In the presence of Et 3 N, the reaction of H 3 L and FeCl 3 Á6H 2 O gives a dinuclear Fe(III) complex [Fe 2 L 2 ] 1, which has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, magnetic measurement, and cyclic voltammetry. The value of l eff at room temperature (5.97 l B ) is much less than the expected spin-only value (8.37 l B ) of two high spin (hs) Fe 3? (S = 5/2) ions [l = g[ P ZS(S ? 1)] 1/2 ], indicating there are strong coupling interactions between Fe 3? ions. The magnetic behavior of 1 denotes the occurrence of intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions (J = -13.35 cm -1 ). CV of 1 reveals two reversible waves at 0.433 and 1.227 V versus AgCl/Ag, which can be ascribed to the successive redox
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.
