Dinuclear triple-helicate complexes of the formula Fe2L34·solv (solv = CH3CN, CHCl3, H2O) have been synthesised and structurally characterised. The bis-bidentate ligands, L, present either strong-field 2-pyridylimine (1) or weaker-field 2-imidazolylimine (2) and 4-imidazolylimine (3) coordination spheres about Fe(ii) centres in an octahedral geometry. Whereas 1 is pervasively diamagnetic, spin crossover (SCO) behaviour is observed in 2 and 3 and has been studied using variable-temperature structural, UV-visible spectroscopic, magnetic and photo-magnetic techniques. Variable-temperature (1.8-400 K) magnetic-susceptibility measurements reveal the T1/2 values of 2 and 3 to be strongly dependent upon the solvent and degree of solvation. Photomagnetic studies at 10 K under white-light irradiation revealed an inefficient photo-induced SCO in 2, but full switching in 3.
已经合成并结构表征了Fe2L34·溶剂(溶剂=CH3CN、CHCl3、H2O)的双核三联螺旋配合物。双齿配体 L 呈现出强场 2-吡啶亚胺(1)或较弱场 2-咪唑基亚胺(2)和 4-咪唑基亚胺(3)配位球体,以八面体几何形状围绕 Fe(ii)中心。尽管 1 是普遍抗磁性的,但在 2 和 3 中观察到自旋交叉(SCO)行为,并使用变温结构、紫外可见光谱、磁性和光磁技术进行了研究。变温(1.8-400 K)磁化率测量表明 2 和 3 的 T1/2 值强烈依赖于溶剂和溶剂化程度。在 10 K 下进行的白光照射光磁研究表明,2 中存在低效的光诱导 SCO,但 3 中完全切换。
