Based on the bis-triazole ligand 2, 6-bis(1, 2,4-triazole-4-yl)pyridine (L), the triazole-iron(II) complexes [Fe(L)2(dca)2(H2O)2] ·2H2O ( 1) (Nadca = sodium dicyanamide), {[Fe(μ2-L)2(H2O)2]Cl2} n ( 2), and {[Fe(μ2-L)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 ·L ·H2O} n ( 3) were isolated by solvent diffusion methods. When iron(II) salts and Nadca were used, compound 1 was isolated, which contains mononuclear Fe(L)2(dca)2(H2O)2 units. When FeCl2 or FeClO4 were used, one-dimensional (1D) cation iron(II) chains ( 2) and two-dimensional (2D) cation iron(II) networks ( 3) were isolated indicating anion directing structural diversity. Moreover, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data of 1- 3 were recorded in the temperature range 2-300 K. The magnetic curve of complex 2 was fitted by using the classical spin Heisenberg chain model indicating anti-ferromagnetic interactions ( J = -5.31 cm-1). Obviously complexes 1- 3 show no detectable thermal spin crossover behaviors, the lack of spin-crossover behavior may be correlated with FeN4O2 coordination spheres in 1- 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
