Abstract
Six new dinuclear or trinuclear FeIII complexes involving tetradentate Schiff bases N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine (salenH2) or bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine (salophH2) with 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, acetylenedicarboxylic acid or 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, i.r. spectroscopy, thermal analyses, conductivity measurements and variable-temperature magnetochemical measurements to the temperature of liquid nitrogen. The complexes can be characterized as high-spin distorted octahedral FeIII bridged by carboxylic acids. The dicarboxylic or tricarboxylic acids play a role as bridges for weak antiferromagnetic intramolecular exchange. The antiferromagnetic coupling parameters J vary in the -1.99 to -5.47cm-1 range for the dimers, whilst the values are -2.35 and -1.42cm-1 for the salen and saloph trimers, respectively. One complex, namely [{Fe(saloph)}2(2,5-dicarpy)]middot H2O, obeys the Curie-Weiss law.
