A ferric guest inside a spin crossover ferrous helicate†
Abstract
A designed dimetallic Fe(II) helicate made with biphenylene-bridged bispyrazolylpyridine ligands and exhibiting a process of spin crossover at temperatures above ambient is shown to encapsulate an S = 5/2 tris-oxalato Fe(III) ion. The spin relaxation dynamics of this guest are strongly reduced upon encapsulation.
