Description
A family of Fe(II) spin crossover complexes with halogen substituted 5-X-N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimines (HqsalX, X = F 1, Cl 2, Br 3 and I 4) has been investigated. With N4O2 octahedral environments, a somewhat unusual donor system for Fe(II) spin crossover [1], this is the first time that [Fe(II)(qsal-X)2] complexes have been studied [2]. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 unexpectedly show completed abrupt spin transition at or above RT. Importantly, compound 4 also exhibits the photoconversion efficiency, above 90 % with a T(LIESST) temperature estimated at 54 K. Variable temperature single crystal structures are performed in both LS and HS states for complexes 2 and 3. The influence on spin crossover properties are discussed of intermolecular interactions and structural packing effects in various halogen substitution complexes.
