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

Mononuclear Fe(III) Schiff Base Complex with Trans-FeO4N2 Chromophore of o-Aminophenol Origin: Synthesis, Characterisation, Crystal Structure, and Spin State Investigation

“…As part of our ongoing interest in SCO Schiff base iron complexes and their spin states [15][16][17][18][19], we report here our investigations on the structure and spin state of an iron(III) complex with the doubly deprotonated form of the proligand 2-{(E)-[2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol (H 2 L) (Scheme 1). The ligand L 2− coordinates in a tridentate chelating mode through the two deprotonated phenolate oxygens and the azomethine nitrogen.…”
