Abstract

A new sterically bulky Schiff base ligand, N-(8-quinolyl)-5-tert-butylsalicylaldimine (Hqsal-5-tBu) has been prepared and a series of FeIII complexes, [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]Y (Y = Cl 1, ClO4 2, NO3 3, BF4 4) utilising this ligand are reported and fully characterised. UV-vis spectroscopic and electrochemical studies indicate that 14 are high spin (HS) in solution at room temperature and further suggest that the tBu group only slightly alters the electronic properties of 14 compared with related [Fe(qsal-5-X)2]+ systems. The structures of [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]Cl·4MeOH·H2O 1, [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]ClO4·MeOH 2, and [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]NO3 3 determined at 100 K reveal HS FeIII centres in all cases. Four-fold parallel aryl embraces and π–π interactions serve to link the cations forming 2D sheets mirroring the motifs found in other [Fe(qsal-5-X)2]+ complexes. Despite this the tBu group causes strong distortions at the Fe centre which as magnetic studies reveal prevent spin crossover trapping 14 in the HS state.
