The asymmetric Schiff base prepared from ethylenediamine and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde reacts with Fe(ClO)·6HO to form the Fe(II) complex FeL with L = ,-diethyl-'-(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine, where the Fe(III) starting material has been unexpectedly reduced to Fe(II). This complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction measurements, variable temperature DC magnetic measurement and room temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy. The asymmetric ligand L coordinates in a tridentate fashion through its pyridyl, azomethine and amino nitrogen atoms, generating a distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal ion. Variable temperature magnetic studies and a Mössbauer measurement show that the iron is locked in the low spin Fe(II) states.
由乙二胺和吡啶 - 2 - 甲醛制备的不对称席夫碱与Fe(ClO)₃·6H₂O反应，形成Fe(II)配合物FeL₃，其中L = N,N'-二乙基-N-(吡啶-2-基亚甲基)乙烷-1,2-二胺，起始原料Fe(III)意外地被还原为Fe(II)。通过元素分析、红外光谱、单晶和粉末X射线衍射测量、变温直流磁性测量和室温穆斯堡尔光谱对该配合物进行了表征。不对称配体L通过其吡啶基、甲亚胺基和氨基氮原子以三齿方式配位，在中心金属离子周围形成扭曲的八面体几何构型。变温磁性研究和穆斯堡尔测量表明，铁处于低自旋Fe(II)态。
