G. Lemercier et al., DYNAMIC SPIN-CROSSOVER IN [FE-II(TRIM)(2)]CL-2 INVESTIGATED BY MOSSBAUER-SPECTROSCOPY AND MAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 150(2), 1995, pp. 227-230
The magnetic and Mossbauer data of the new coordination complex [Fe-II
(TRIM)(2)]Cl-2, where TRIM = 4'-(4-methylimidazole-2'-(2''-methylimida
zole) afford evidence for a complete and progressive spin conversion b
etween the (1)A(1) and T-5(2) spin states, The interstate conversion f
requencies measured in the 220-300 K temperature range follow an Arrhe
nius behavior, The thermal variation of the equilibrium constant over
the whole temperature range approximately follows a linear Arrhenius p
lot, thus indicating a very low degree of cooperativity in this materi
al; a small distortion from the linear plot suggests a vibrational eff
