The effects of pressure and temperature on the energy (Eop) of the metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT, FeII-->CoIII) transition of the cyano-bridged complexes trans-[L14CoNCFe(CN)5]- and cis-[L14CoNCFe(CN)5]- (where L14=6-methyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecan-6-amine) were examined. The changes in the redox potentials of the cobalt and iron metal centres with pressure and temperature were a...

A family of wheel-shaped charge-neutral heterometallic {FeIII4LnIII2}- and {FeIII18MIII6}-type coordination clusters demonstrates the intricate interplay of solvent effects and structure-directing roles of semiflexible bridging ligands. The {Fe4Ln2}-type compounds [Fe4Ln2(O2CCMe3)6(N3)4(Htea)4]·2(EtOH), Ln = Dy (1a), Er (1b), Ho (1c); [Fe4Tb2(O2CCMe3)6(N3)4(Htea)4] (1d); [Fe4Ln2(O2CCMe3)6(N3)4(...

Reported herein are the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions of two closely related dicationic iron tris(alpha-diimine) complexes. FeII(H2bip) (iron(II) tris[2,2'-bi-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine]diperchlorate) and FeII(H2bim) (iron(II) tris[2,2'-bi-2-imidazoline]diperchlorate) both transfer H* to TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoxyl) to yield the hydroxylamine, TEMPO-H, and the respecti...

The title compound, [Fe3(C11H11N2O5)2Cl3(C2H6OS)3]2·7C2H6OS·2H2O, was isolated accidentally from an Fe0-NiCl2·6H2O-H3L-TEA-DMSO system [where H3L is the product of the condensation between p-nitro-salicyl-aldehyde and 2-amino-2-methyl-propane-1,3-diol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and TEA is triethylamine]. The structure is based on a trinuclear {Fe3(μ-O)4} core, with an angular arrangement of...

A dimeric iron(II) complex, trans-[Fe2(CH3COO)4(L1)2] (1), and a trinuclear iron(II) complex, [Fe3(CH3COO)4(H2O)4(L2)] (2), were studied as potential dye-sensitised solar cell materials. The structures of both complexes were deduced by a combination of instrumental analyses and molecular modelling. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data suggested that 1 was made up of 56.8% high-spin...

Cyclic voltammogram and differential pulse polarograph of octaethyl porphyrin iron(III) chloride in dichloromethane was investigated in the presence of pyridine, imidazole and collidine. Values of E1/2 for FeIII/FeII redox reaction were monitored as a function of axial group concentration, and on the basis of these data, an overall oxidation-reduction and ligand addition scheme was formulated. ...

Coordination of FeCl3 to the redox-active pyridine-aminophenol ligand NNOH2 in the presence of base and under aerobic conditions generates FeCl2(NNOISQ) (1), featuring high-spin FeIII and an NNOISQ radical ligand. The complex has an overall S = 2 spin state, as deduced from experimental and computational data. The ligand-centered radical couples antiferromagnetically with the Fe center. Readily...

Functionalized nanotubes are promising candidates to promote communication between paramagnetic centres at large distances through their highly delocalized π systems. Here, Density Functional Theory methods are employed to study the exchange coupling interaction between FeIII paramagnetic centres coordinated at terminal carboxylate ligands of functionalized nanotubes. Chiral nanotubes exhibit f...
