Abstract
The structures of two novel iron(III) complexes indicate that they have [FeTp2]+ cations where Fe(III) ions are in typical low-spin state, and in counter ions, [TpFe(NCS)3]- for 1 and [Fe(NCS)6]3- for 2 are both in high-spin state. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility results also show that there are double spin states of iron(III) ions within the crystal lattice. The reaction of FeCl3 • 6H2O, potassium hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (KTp) and KSCN gives [FeTp2][TpFe(NCS)3] (1) and [FeTp2]3[Fe(NCS)6] (2), respectively. The bond lengths and angles indicate that both complexes have [FeTp2] + cations where Fe(III) ions are in typical low-spin state, and in counter ions, [TpFe(NCS)3]- for 1 and [Fe(NCS) 6]3- for 2 are both in high-spin state. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility and ESR results also show that there are double spin states of iron(III) ions within the crystal lattice of both compounds.
