Abstract:
Herein, three dinuclear iron(II) helicates bearing the molecular formula [Fe2 (L1)3 ](ClO4 )4 ⋅ 2CH3 OH ⋅ 3H2 O (complex 1), [Fe2 (L2)3 ](ClO4 )4 ⋅ 6CH3 CN (complex 2), and [Fe2 (L3)3 ](ClO4 )4 ⋅ 0.5H2 O (complex 3) have been synthesized using imidazole and pyridine-imine-based ligands having fluorene moiety in the backbone. A change in the ligand field strength by terminal modulation led to a change in the spin-transition behaviour from incomplete, multi-step to complete, around room temperature in the solid state. Spin transition behaviour has also been observed in the solution phase characterized using variable temperature 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (Evans method) and correlated using UV-visible spectroscopy. Fitting the NMR data using the ideal solution model yielded the transition temperature in the order T1/2 (1)

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...
