Abstract: | Fe(hyptrz)3](4-chloro-3-nitrophenylsulfonate)22 H2O (1; hyptrz=4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1,2,4-triazole) has been synthesized and its physical properties have been investigated by several physical techniques including magnetic susceptibility measurements, calorimetry, and M?ssbauer, optical, and EXAFS spectroscopy. Compound 1 exhibits a spin transition below room temperature, together with a very wide thermal hysteresis of about 50 K. This represents the widest hysteresis loop ever observed for an FeII-1,2,4-triazole spin transition material. The cooperativity is discussed on the basis of temperature-dependent EXAFS studies and of the structural features of a CuII analogue. The EXAFS structural model of (1) in both spin states is compared to that obtained for a related material whose spin transition occurs above room temperature. EXAFS spectroscopy suggests that 1,2,4-triazole chain compounds retain a linear character whatever the spin state of the iron(II). |
