Antiferromagnetically coupled iso-structural CrIII, MnIII and FeIII complexes of a tetradentate Schiff base ligand derived from o-phenylenediamine

Spin state of two mononuclear iron(II) complexes of a tridentate bis(imino)pyridine N-donor ligand: Experimental and theoretical investigations

“…Schiff bases are condensation products of primary amines and carbonyl compounds and are capable of inducing SCO in coordination compounds [1,28,29]. The majority of SCO Schiff base complexes reported to date are Fe(II) mononuclear species [26,[30][31][32], while some of them remain locked in the LS state [20,21].…”
