Abstract
Two new mononuclear iron(II) complexes, Fe(4bt)(2)(NCS)(2) (1) and
Fe(dm4bt)(2)(NCS)(2) (2), were prepared from the treatment of FeCl2
center dot 4H(2)O and KSCN salts with 4,4'-bithiazole (4bt) and
2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-bithiazole (dm4bt), respectively and their structures
and magnetisms were studied. Crystal structure determination revealed
similar distorted octahedral FeN6 moiety for both high spin iron(II)
complexes. Fe-N distances are seen in 1 and 2 to be in the range of
2.085(8)-2.173(3) for Fe-N-NCS and 2.178(3)-2.279(7) angstrom for
Fe-N-bt which is consistent with the assigned iron spin and oxidation
states. Temperature dependent chi T-m showed that the complexes are
magnetically resembled and behave as S = 2 systems with some zero-field
splitting. Complexes 1 and 2 were also studied in solution by means of
H-1 NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All
