Abstract:
The reaction of [Fe(salen)](+) and {A(3)[Fe(CN)(6)]} (A = NEt(4), K), depending on the countercation A(+) and on the reaction solvent, led to [(NEt(4)){Fe(salen)}(2){Fe(CN)(6)}](n)(), 4, and [{Fe(salen)}(3){Fe(CN)(6)}(MeOH)(2)](n)().3nH(2)O, 5 [NEt(4) = tetraethylammonium cation, salen = N, N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato) dianion], displaying a similar extended 2D structure. Complex 5 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 13.495(7) Å, b = 14.220(9) Å, c = 33.137(5) Å, beta = 96.74(2) degrees, and Z = 4. It assumes a two-dimensional network layer structure consisting of cyclic octanuclear [-Fe(h.s.)-NC-Fe(l.s.)-CN-](4) units with [Fe(salen)(MeOH)(2)](+) located between the interlayer as a countercation. Complex 4 exhibits a metamagnetic behavior with a field-induced transition from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic-like state and a Neel temperature of ca. 6 K.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
01:20Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
