The hydrate of a neutral iron(iii) complex based on the pyruvic acid thiosemicarbazone ligand with abrupt spin-crossover with T_1/2 = 340 K and a wide hysteresis loop of 45 K

Abstract

The hydrate of neutral iron(III) complex based on pyruvic acid thiosemicarbazone ligand [FeIII(Hthpy)(thpy)]·H2O (1) was synthesized and characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, dc magnetic measurements, EPR...
