Abstract

Synthesis procedures for coordination compounds of iron(II) 1,5,6,10-tetra(R)-7,8-dicarba-nido-undecaborates(-1) (carboranes) with tris(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (HC(pz)3) of the composition [Fe{HC(pz)3}2]A2·nH2O (A = (7,8-C2B9H12)− (I), (1,5,6,10-Br4-7,8-C2B9H8)− (II), (1,5,6,10-I4-7,8-C2B9H8)− (III), n = 0–2) are developed. The compounds are studied by static magnetic susceptibility in the temperature range of 160–500 K, electron (diffuse reflectance spectra), IR, and Mossbauer spectroscopy methods. It is shown that the complexes have high-temperature spin-crossover 1A1 ⇔ 5T2. Transition temperatures (Tc) for I–III are 370 K, 380 K, and 400 K respectively. Spin-crossover is accompanied by thermochromism (color change: pink ⇔ white).
