Abstract:
The title Fe(III) complex, [Fe(C(22)H(32)N(4)O(2))]I, contains a six-coordinate FeN(4)O(2) cation in which the ligand is a reduced Schiff base resulting from the NaBH(4) reduction of the condensation product between salicylaldehyde and 1,5,8,12-tetra-azadodecane. In spite of the increased flexibility of the saturated backbone of the ligand compared to the Schiff base from which it was synthesized, the complex adopts a cis-FeN(4)O(2) conformation for the phenolic O-atom donors, which contrasts with the trans conformation adopted by the analogous ClO(4) (-) salt [Yisgedu et al. (2009 ▶). J. Chem. Crystallogr.39, 315-319]. In addition to extensive N-H⋯I hydrogen bonding between the amine H atoms and the anion there is a weak C-H⋯I inter-action.

Colors 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.
