Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetates as tripodal heteroscorpionate ligands in iron chemistry: syntheses and structures of iron(II) and iron(III) complexes with bpza, bdmpza, and bdtbpza ligands.
The molecular structure of the previously reported species "[Fe(bdtbpza)Cl]" has been revealed by X-ray structure determination to be a ferrous dimer [Fe(bdtbpza)Cl](2) (2c) [bdtbpza = bis(3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate]. The syntheses of ferrous 2:1 complexes [Fe(bpza)(2)] (3a) and [Fe(bdtbpza)(2)] (3c) as well as ferric 1:1 complexes [NEt(4)][Fe(bpza)Cl(3)] (4a) and [NEt(4)][Fe(bdmpza)Cl(3)] (4b) [bpza = bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetate, bdmpza = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate] are reported. Complexes 3a, previously reported [Fe(bdmpza)(2)] (3b), and 3c are high-spin. No spin crossover to the low-spin state was observed in the temperature range of 5-350 K. 4a and 4b are synthesized in one step and in high yield from [NEt(4)](2)[Cl(3)FeOFeCl(3)]. 4a and 4b are iron(III) high-spin complexes. Crystallographic information: 2c (C(24)H(39)ClFeN(4)O(2).CH(2)Cl(2).CH(3)CN) is triclinic, P1, a = 12.171(16) A, b = 12.851(14) A, c = 13.390(13) A, alpha = 98.61(9) degrees, beta = 113.51(11) degrees, gamma = 108.10(5) degrees, Z = 2; 3a (C(8)H(7)Fe(0.5)N(4)O(2)) is monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 7.4784(19) A, b = 7.604(3) A, c = 16.196(4) A, beta = 95.397(9) degrees, Z = 4; 3c (C(24)H(39)Fe(0.5)N(4)O(2)) is monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 9.939(6) A, b = 18.161(10) A, c = 13.722(8) A, beta = 97.67(7) degrees, Z = 4; 4b (C(20)H(35)Cl(3)FeN(5)O(2)) is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 30.45(6) A, b = 12.33(2) A, c = 16.17(3) A, beta = 118.47(5) degrees, Z = 8.
