Popis: | The influence of ligands on the spin state of a metal ion is of central importance for bioinorganic chemistry, and the production of base-metal catalysts for synthesis applications. Complexes derived from [Fe(bpp)2]2+ (bpp=2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyridine) can be high-spin, low-spin, or spin-crossover (SCO) active depending on the ligand substituents. Plots of the SCO midpoint temperature (Tinline image ) in solution vs. the relevant Hammett parameter show that the low-spin state of the complex is stabilized by electron-withdrawing pyridyl (“X”) substituents, but also by electron-donating pyrazolyl (“Y”) substituents. Moreover, when a subset of complexes with halogeno X or Y substituents is considered, the two sets of compounds instead show identical trends of a small reduction in Tinline image for increasing substituent electronegativity. DFT calculations reproduce these disparate trends, which arise from competing influences of pyridyl and pyrazolyl ligand substituents on Fe-L σ and π bonding. |
