Bis[N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]iron(III) perchlorate methanol solvate
In the title complex, [Fe(C12H8N3O2)2]ClO4·CH3OH, the iron(III) ion is surrounded by two tridentate N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidate (bpca) ligands and exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination by six bpca N atoms. A classical O-H
O hydrogen bond exists between the methanol solvent molecule and the perchlorate anion. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated the complex to be in the low-spin state in the temperature range 5-400 K.
A methanolic solution (25 ml) containing the bpca ligand (0.2 mmol, 0.046 g) was
added dropwise to Fe(ClO4)2.6 H2O (0.1 mmol, 0.036 g). After stirring
for 15 minutes, the dark solution was filtered. Red block-shaped crystals
suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained by evaporating the
resulting filtration in air for several days (yield: 56.2%). Anal calc (%).
for C25 H20 Cl Fe N6 O9: H 3.15 C 46.95 N 13.15. Found: H 3.12, C
46.87, N 13.54.
C-bound H atoms were placed geometrically and allowed to ride during refinement
with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The
hydroxy H atom of the methanol solvent molecule was located in a difference
Fourier map and refined as riding with the parent atom with Uiso(H) =
1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top
Experimental. The magnetic measurements were performed on Quantum Design SQUID, MPMS-5S
magnetometer. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s.
planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor
wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional
R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for
negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc.
and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large
as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be
even larger. |

Our recent work indicated the N-donor tridentate ligand is suitable for the synthesis of spin-crossover materials. The N-2-pyridinylcarbonyl-2-pyridinecarboximidate (bpca) ligand has a typical rigid tridentate donor and was well studied to construct transition metal complexes inculding Fe(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) (Wocadlo et al. 1993 and references cited therein).. One of the examples is reported by Wocadlo and coworkers, which interestingly showed the spin state can be tuned by the different counterion and solvent. It was claimed that Fe(III) complex [Fe(bpca)Cl2(H2O)] (CH3)2CO and [Fe(bpca)2](NO3) 1.67 H2O adopt high spin state and the low-spin one in all the range of measured temperatures, respectively, while the [Fe(bpca)2](C1O4) evidence the spin-crossover behaviour. Here, we reported the crystal stucture of complex [Fe(bpca)6](C1O4) CH3OH.(Fig. 1). The coordination environments of Fe(III) ions are completed by two bpca ligands with average Fe—N bond length of being 1.954 Å (Table 1). A classical hyrogen bond O—H···O exists between methanol and chlorate anion with D···A distance being 2.916 (3)Å (Table 2). The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility was measured down to 5 K. The data in the form of molar magnetic moment multiply temperature is nearly constant and equal to about 0.45 emu K mol-1, consistent with low spin state of Fe(III) (s = 1/2).
