Abstract
A first coordination {[2.2.2]cryptand(K+)}2{FeII(TI˙−)(TI2−)}2·2C6H4Cl2 (1) complex of iron(II) containing radical anions and dianions of thioindigo (TI) was obtained. The complex has two high-spin FeII centers bound by two oxygen atoms, and the TI˙− radical anions are coordinated to each FeII. As a result, the 4-spin system consisting of TI˙− (S = 1/2)–FeII (S = 2)–FeII (S = 2)–TI˙− (S = 1/2) coupled spins is formed within a dimer with strong FeII–FeII (J = −51.1 cm−1) and weaker FeII–TI˙− interactions of (J = −35.4 cm−1).
