Abstract

The dinuclear complex [(Fe(L-N4Me2))2(BiBzIm)](ClO4)2⋅2EtCN (1) has been investigated by Mossbauer spectroscopy carried out in the temperature range from 5 to 150 K with externally applied magnetic fields of up to B = 5 T. By means of a consistent simulation of all experimental data sets within the Spin Hamiltonian formalism, the zero-field splitting D and the rhombicity parameter E/D of the ferrous high-spin (HS) site in this complex was determined to be D = −15.0 ± 1.0 cm−1 and E/D = 0.33 respectively. The sign of the quadrupole splitting of the HS site is positive which indicates that this iron site of the dinuclear complex 1 has an electronic ground state with the dxy orbital being twofold occupied.
