Abstract

Abstract As part of our attempts to prepare Fe III complexes with “tunable” spin states, we have synthesized three novel six-coordinate Fe III complexes containing both carboxamido nitrogen (N amido) and phenolato oxygen (O phen) donors in their ligand framework. Since it has already been shown that carboxamido nitrogen donors usually stabilize Fe III in a low spin configuration, while phenolato oxygens tend to stabilize Fe III in a high spin state, we ...
