“…Complexes 1, [24] 2, [25] 3, [8] 4, [26] 5, [1] 6, [27] 7 [1] and 8, [27] were prepared as described in the literature. All of the compounds examined in this study were rapidly transferred from sealed ampoules to screw-cap perspex sample holders, sealed with Teflon tape and rapidly cooled to 78 K. Mössbauer spectra were recorded at increasing temperatures (in 20 K steps) to the maximum temperature, and then in a cooling mode to ascertain the reversibility of the data.…”
