S. Hayami et al., SYNTHESIS AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF BINUCLEAR IRON(III) COMPLEXES CONTAINING PHOTOISOMERIZATION LIGAND, Chemistry Letters, (10), 1998, pp. 987-988
Binuclear iron(III) spin-crossover complex [Fe-2(salten)(2)(az)](BPh4)
(2) (az=azobis(4-pyridine)) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray
single-crystal diffraction, Mossbauer spectra, magnetic susceptibilit
ies and electronic spectra. This complex contains the ligand which is
able to photoisomerize as a bridging ligand. The complex exhibited the
spin-crossover behavior depending on temperature in solution and soli
d state. Mossbauer measurements indicated that the complex exhibited r
apid spin-equilibrium behavior at room temperature.
