Modulation of Fe–Fe distance and spin in diiron complexes using tetradentate ligands with different flanking donors†
Abstract
Here we report the synthesis and characterization of diiron complexes containing triaryl N4 and N2S2 ligands derived from o-phenylenediamine. The complexes display significant differences in Fe–Fe distances and magnetic properties that depend on the identity of the flanking NMe2 and SMe donor groups.
