Intramolecular ring-twist distortion significantly impacts spin-state crossover (SCO) in iron(II) complexes. Structural analysis reveals this distortion, not supramolecular packing, is key to SCO behavior in these pyrazolylborate complexes.

Area of Science:

  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Solid-State Chemistry

Background:

  • Spin-state crossover (SCO) in iron(II) complexes is influenced by molecular structure and external stimuli.
  • Poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligands offer tunable steric and electronic properties for SCO control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of substituent effects, ligand distortions, and supramolecular structure on SCO behavior in iron(II) poly(pyrazolyl)borate complexes.
  • To correlate molecular structural features with observed magnetic properties.

Main Methods:

  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction at variable temperatures (294 K and 90 K).
  • Magnetic susceptibility measurements.
  • Mössbauer spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • A significant intramolecular ring-twist distortion was identified in a high-spin complex, correlating with the absence of SCO.
  • Complexes with lesser ring-twist distortions exhibited partial SCO, transitioning to a high-spin/low-spin mixture.
  • No strong correlation was found between supramolecular packing and SCO behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Intramolecular ligand distortion, specifically ring-twisting, is a critical factor governing SCO in these iron(II) complexes.
  • Phase transitions can dominate SCO behavior when present.
  • Mössbauer spectral properties correlate with Fe-N bond distances and ligand dihedral angles.
