From six-coordinate to eight-coordinate iron(ii) complexes with pyridyltriazolo-pyridine frameworks†
Abstract
A new octacoordinated Fe(II) compound, [FeII(LN4)2](BPh4)2·3CH2Cl2, as an example of the scarce FeN8 systems, has been isolated with a tetradentate triazolopyridine-based ligand from a solution containing the related hexacoordinated [FeII(LN3)2]2+ complex, with LN3 = pyridyltriazolo-pyridyl-bromopyrimidine and LN4 = bis(pyridyltriazolo-pyridine).
