Spin-state modulation of molecular FeIII complexes via inclusion in halogen-bonded supramolecular networks†
Abstract
The cationic complex [Fe(qsal)2]+ (Hqsal = N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine) is encapsulated in anionic halogen-bonded 1D and 2D networks derived from sym-triiodotrifluorobenzene, [(C6F3I3)Cl]− and [(C6F3I3)I]−. Structural analysis and magnetic measurements show that the spin-state of this complex can be modulated by its inclusion in supramolecular host frameworks.
