Seven new dinuclear iron(II) complexes of the general formula [Fe(II)2(PMRT)2](BF4)4·solvent, where PMRT is a 4-substituted-3,5-bis{[(2-pyridylmethyl)-amino]methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole, have been prepared in order to investigate the substituent effect on the spin crossover event. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility and (57)Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy studies show that two of the complexes, [Fe(II)2(PMPT)2](BF4)4·H2O (N(4) substituent is pyrrolyl) and [Fe(II)2(PM(Ph)AT)2](BF4)4 (N(4) is N,N-diphenylamine), are stabilized in the [HS-HS] state between 300 and 2 K with weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the iron(II) centers. Five of the complexes showed gradual half spin crossover, from [HS-HS] to [HS-LS], with the following T(1/2) (K) values: 234 for [Fe(II)2(PMibT)2](BF4)4·3H2O (N(4) is isobutyl), 147 for [Fe(II)2(PMBzT)2](BF4)4 (N(4) is benzyl), 133 for [Fe(II)2(PM(CF3)PhT)2](BF4)4·DMF·H2O (N(4) is 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), 187 for [Fe(II)2(PMPhT)2](BF4)4 (N(4) is phenyl), and 224 for [Fe(II)2(PMC16T)2](BF4)4 (N(4) is hexadecyl). Structure determinations carried out for three complexes, [Fe(II)2(PMPT)2](BF4)4·4DMF, [Fe(II)2(PMBzT)2](BF4)4·CH3CN, and [Fe(II)2(PM(Ph)AT)2](BF4)4·solvent, revealed that in all three complexes both iron(II) centers are stabilized in the high spin state at 90 K. A general and reliable 4-step route to PMRT ligands is also detailed.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2013.
All research outputs
#15,279,577
of 22,721,584 outputs
Outputs from Inorganic Chemistry
#13,680
of 21,564 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,719
of 201,793 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Inorganic Chemistry
#149
of 418 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,721,584 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 21,564 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 201,793 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 418 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
