Popis: The molecular structures and the spin ground-state of the iron(II/III) complexes Fe1, Fe2 and Fe3, which contain dianionic macrocyclic [N 4 ] ligands derived from substituted acetylacetaldehydes and 1,2-diamines, have beeninvestigated by X-ray analysis and temperature-dependent susceptibility measurements, respectively. The iron(II) complexes Fe I I 1 (which is dimeric by intermolecular coordination of one peripheral carbonyl group), Fe I I 1MeOH, (Fe I I L) 2 dabco (L = 1, 2, 3; dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) and the iron(III) complex Fe I I I 1Cl are pentacoordinate and have an intermediate-spin ground-state at room temperature (S = 1 for Fe I I ; S = 3/2 for Fe I I I ). The intermediate-spin state was confirmed by DFT-MO calculations for Fe I I 1MeOH and Fe I I I 1Cl and is also in agreement with the Mossbauer data of Fe I I 1 and ESR measurements of Fe I I I 1Cl. The iron centre in Fe I I 2 is nearly square-planar and shows a strong decrease of the magnetic moment below T 250 K. This is probably due to an S = 0 to S = 1 spin-crossover or, more likely, to intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions (shortest Fe-Fe distance of 3.4 A). A new pair of octahedral iron(II/III) complexes with an N-heterocyclic axial ligand, Fe I I 3(Py) 2 /[Fe I I I 3(Py) 2 ]PF 6 , could be crystallised. In contrast to the previously described pairs Fe I I 1(Him) 2 /[Fe I I I 1(Him) 2 ]PF 6 and Fe"2Py2/[Fe I I I 2Py 2 ]ClO 4 , the orientation of the planes of the axial ligands is nearly independent of the oxidation step of the central atom. Octahedral derivatives with biologically relevant anions as axial ligands have been crystallised for the first time, namely [BzEt 3 N][Fe I I I 1(NCS) 2 ], [Et 4 N][Fe I I I 2(CN) 2 ](H 2 O) 0 . 5 , Na-[Fe I I I 2(NO 2 ) 2 ](MeOH) 2 (H 2 O) 0 . 5 and [Fe I I I 2(NO 2 )OH 2 ](MeOH). The latter shows a magnetic moment of μ e f f 2.85 μ B at room temperature, which decreases to 1.85μ B at lower temperature. This indicates an incomplete S = ½ to S = 3/2 spin-crossover, which is probably due to the presence of H 2 O as a weak axial ligand.
