Abstract
- High-field/frequency electron paramagnetic resonance measurements have been performed on a cyano-bridged trinuclear Fe2IIINiII complex and an analogous mononuclear FeIII building block. The mononuclear FeIII complex exhibits a low-spin configuration resulting from a strong-field coordination environment and can be modeled as an effective s = 1/2 Kramers ion that exhibits significant g-anisotropy: gz = 3.7, gy = 2.2 and gx = 1.92. The corresponding Fe2IIINiII complex possesses an S = 2 spin ground state as a result of ferromagnetic exchange that is mediated by the bridging cyano ligands. Simulations of frequency dependent EPR data establish that the Fe2IIINiII complex exhibits easy-axis type magnetoanisotropy, with best-fit simulation parameters of: S = 2, D = −2.09 cm−1, E = 0.08 cm−1, B40 = 2.3 × 10−3 cm−1, gz = 2.4, gy = gx = 1.95.
