Data to support study of Iron(II) Complexes of 2,4-Dipyrazolyl-1,3,5-Triazine Derivatives ‒ the Influence of Ligand Geometry on Metal Ion Spin State

Seven derivatives of [FeL2]2+ (L = 2,4-di{pyrazol-1-yl}-1,3,5-triazine) are all high-spin. DFT calculations imply this can be attributed to the geometry of the L ligand

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of 2-(di-2-pyridylamino)pyrimidine; structural aspects of spin crossover in an Fe(II) complex

This paper was accepted on February 26 20122-(Di-2-pyridylamino)pyrimidine (L), a potentially ditopic tetradentate ligand, was synthesized from commercially available di-2-pyridylamine and 2-chloropyrimidine. Despite being capable of bridging two metal atoms with bidentate chelation of both metal centres, L prefers to chelate or bridge through the more basic pyridyl donors of the di-2-pyridylamine moiety. Mononuclear trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] and [Cu(L)2(H2O)](BF4)2•H2O complexes, and a discrete [Ag2(L)4](PF6)2 metallomacrocycle were isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. A mononuclear palladium complex [PdCl2(L)]•(solvate), where solvate = ½H2O or CH2Cl2, was also readily obtained in 71% yield. One example of the ligand acting as a bis(bidentate) bridging ligand was observed in a dinuclear [(PdCl2)2(L)]•¾H2O complex that was obtained only in very low yield (ca. 3%) from the reaction that produced [PdCl2(L)]•½H2O. trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] undergoes a temperature dependent HS-LS (HS = high spin; LS = low spin) crossover at ca. 205 K that was 2 observed by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements and attempts were made to understand the structural basis of this process. Despite efforts to isolate examples of L bridging two iron(II) centres, only the mononuclear trans-[Fe(NCS)2(L)2] species could be obtained.Rachel S. Crees, Boujemma Moubaraki, Keith S.

Insight into Compound Jérôme Elhaïk, [a] Colin A. Kilner, [a] and Malcolm A. Halcrow* [a] Abstract: The ClO4 − salt of [FeL2] 2+ (L = 2,6-bis(3-methylpyrazol-1-yl)pyridine) undergoes very gradual thermal spin-crossover centered just below room temperature. In contrast, the BF4 − salt of the same complex exhibits an abrupt and structured spin-transition at lower temperature, with a complicated structural chemistry. The difference can be attributed to a much larger change in molecular structure between the spin states of the complex in the more cooperative BF4 − salt, leading to an increased kinetic barrier for their interconversion. Consistent with that suggestion, the high-spin and low-spin structures of weakly cooperative [FeL2][ClO4]2 are almost superimposable. The continuing interest in thermally and optically switchable spin-crossover (SCO) materials [9] Its thermal spin-transition takes place in two steps, via a re-entrant symmetry-breaking transition to an intermediate crystal phase, with a tripled unit cell containing a mixture of high-spin and low-spin sites. The first of these steps occurs abruptly with hysteresis, but at a temperature that varies according to the water content of the sample (x). In contrast the second step is kinetically slow, and is only achieved when the sample is poised at 100 K for 1.5 hrs. [10] Its excited spin-state trapping (LIESST [11] ) behavior is also unique, in that its thermodynamic high low spin transition and kinetically controlled high low spin-state relaxation exhibit different profiles and are effectively decoupled from each other. [12] Although unexceptional in itself, 1[ClO4]2 provides useful insight into the structural origin of the unusual behavior of the BF4 − salt by providing a rare comparison between strongly and weakly cooperative spin-crossover materials based on the same complex molecule. At 300 K, MT for 1[ClO4]2 is 2.4 cm 3 mol -1 K, lower than expected for a high-spin iron(II) complex with this ligand type (3.4-3.6 cm 3 mol -1 K)

Data to Support Iron(II) Complexes of 2,6-Bis(imidazo[1,2?a]pyridin-2-yl)pyridine and Related Ligands with Annelated Distal Heterocyclic Donors

Complexes of the title ligand and two of its derivatives are mostly high-spin in the solid state, but exhibit thermal spin-crossover equilibria in solution with a ligand-centred room-temperature emission

Data to support study of Spin States of Homochiral and Heterochiral Isomers of [Fe(PyBox)2]2+ Derivatives

Homochiral [Fe((R)-LPh)2]2+ (LPh = 2,6-bis{4-phenyloxazolinyl}pyridine) undergoes spin-crossover in CD3CN at 34 K lower temperature than its heterochiral diastereomer [Fe((R)-LPh)((S)-LPh)]2+

Rigidification of a macrocyclic tris-catecholate scaffold leads to electronic localisation of its mixed valent redox product

The catecholate groups in [{Pt(L)}3(μ3-tctq)] (H6tctq = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxy-4b,8b,12b,12d-tetramethyltribenzotriquinacene; L = a diphosphine chelate) undergo sequential oxidation to their semiquinonate forms by voltammetry, with ΔE½ = 160–170 mV. The monoradical [{Pt(dppb)}3(μ3-tctq•)]+ is valence-localised, with no evidence for intervalence charge transfer in its near-IR spectrum. This contrasts with previously reported [{Pt(dppb)}3(μ3-ctc•)]+ (H6ctc = cyclotricatechylene), based on the same macrocyclic tris-dioxolene scaffold, which exhibits partly delocalised (class II) mixed valency

Muelles pretensados en el estuario del río Tees

Sobre las márgenes del río Tees, ya en su estuario, Middlesbrough (Inglaterra), se están terminando, actualmente, las obras de un muelle pretensado que permitirá atracar barcos de gran calado, puesto que se halla emplazado en aguas profundas, es decir, de unos 11 m de calado en mareas bajas de primavera. El muelle ha sido estudiado y proyectado por Sir William Halcrow & Partners, quienes, además de esta obra, se han encargado de otras también de tipo marítimo

Data to support study of Structural transformations and spin-crossover in [FeL2]2+ salts (L = 4-{tertbutylsulfanyl}-2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyridine) − the influence of bulky ligand substituents

Desolvation of [FeL2][BF4]2·xMeNO2 occurs via an intermediate phase, exhibiting hysteretic spin-crossover (SCO) with a reverse step in its warming branch. Incomplete SCO in the final product phase reflects disorder of an L ligand. [FeL2][BF4]2·yMe2CO contains five complex cations per asymmetric unit, four of which undergo gradual SCO in at least two discrete steps
