A series of mono-imidazole ligated (meso-tetramesityl-porphyrinato)iron(III
) complexes have been prepared. The spin states of these complexes are pres
ented as the admired intermediate (S = 3/2, 5/2) on the basis of the H-1 NM
R, C-13 NMR, EPR, and magnetic moments. The S = 3/2 character has increased
as the axial imidazole ligand becomes bulkier.
