The singlet-quintet transition in Tris[2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzothiazole]iron(II) Bis(tetraphenylborate)
Keyword(s):
The tris[2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzothiazole]iron(II) ion has been isolated as the tetraphenylborate salt which is stable in the atmosphere for short periods. The deep red complex displays a temperature-dependent magnetic moment and thermochroism which are associated with a thermally induced singlet (1A1) ↔ quintet (5T2) spin transition. An empirical treatment of the transition, which is continuous, yields ∆H and ∆S values of 22.7 kJ mol-1 and 91 JK-1 mol-1 over the range 275-364 K. Spectral data for the corresponding nickel(11) complex confirm the intermediate nature of the field strength of the benzothiazole and indicate that it is a weaker ligand than the corresponding thiazole derivative.
