Abstract:
A series of novel mononuclear iron(III) complexes [Fe(saldpt)(atz)] (1) and [Fe(Rsalpet)(atz)] (2a-d) involving 5-aminotetrazole (Hatz) and pentadentate Schiff base ligands (H2saldpt = N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyliden)-1,7-diamino-4-azaheptane, H2salpet = N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyliden)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane, H25Cl-salpet = N,N'-bis(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane, H25Br-salpet = N,N'-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane and H23,5Br-salpet = N,N'-bis(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane) was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, single crystal X-ray analysis, magnetic measurements and (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. In contrast to the high-spin magnetic properties of [Fe(saldpt)(atz)] (1), the complexes [Fe(Rsalpet)(atz)] (2a-d) undergo spin crossover with critical temperatures above 416 K. Furthermore, DFT calculations with the B3LYP functional were employed to investigate the effect of the conductor-like screening model (COSMO) and van der Waals corrections (VDW) as well as relativistic effects with the scalar relativistic second-order Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian (DKH2) on low-spin and high-spin molecular geometries and thus on spin crossover parameters (enthalpy, entropy and critical temperature).

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...

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...
02:34Structural 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,...
