Abstract
In this paper, we describe the synthesis, characterization, and stability studies of new FeII complexes prepared with the ligand N,N′‐dimethyl‐N,N′‐bis(4‐nitropyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine (L42NO2). The properties of these complexes were probed by magnetic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical techniques and compared with those of the parent complexes prepared with the unsubstituted ligand N,N′‐dimethyl‐N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine (BPMEN or L42). The para functionalization of the pyridine moieties with π‐accepting nitro groups increases the ligand‐field strength and the Lewis acidity of the metal center without altering the stability of the complex.
