Abstract

The spin-crossover behaviors of mixed-valence iron compounds [FeIIH3L][FeIIIL](NO3)2 (1) and [FeIIH3LMe][FeIIILMe](NO3)2 (2) have been investigated by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, where H3L is a hexadentate N6 tripod ligand containing three imidazole groups and H3LMe is its 2-methylimidazole derivative. Deconvolution analyses of the Mössbauer spectra revealed that a two-step SCO (LS FeII–LS FeIII→HS FeII–LS FeIII→HS FeII–HS FeIII) proceeds in each compound on elevating the temperature. Compound 2 exhibited lower spin-transition temperatures than 1. “Frozen-in effect” was observed below 120 and 50 K for 1 and 2, respectively.
