Abstract

[Fe{N(entz)3}2](ClO4)2 (N(entz)3 = tris(2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)ethyl)-amine) is a 2D FeII coordination polymer built from a tris-1-R tetrazole building block. This thermochromic FeII complex which was investigated by variable temperature 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy (78–300 K) displays on cooling a complete, abrupt and hysteretic spin transition at \(T_{c}^{\uparrow } = 170(1)\) K and \(T_{c}^{\downarrow } = 149(1)\) K. The reversibility of the spin transition over several thermal cycles was deduced from SQUID magnetometry. Differential scanning calorimetry reveals a reversible first order phase transition on cooling below room temperature, with entropy data consistent with the highly cooperative character of the spin transition.
