Bimetallic Iron(3+) Spin-Crossover Complexes Containing a 2,2′-Bithienyl Bridging bis-QsalH Ligand
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe the synthesis of a new 3,3'-diethynyl-2,2'-bithienyl bridging bis-QsalH ligand (5), and the preparation of four bimetallic iron(3+) complexes containing 5 with Cl(-) (6), SCN(-) (7), PF(6)(-) (8), and ClO(4)(-) (9) counteranions. We show with variable temperature magnetic susceptibility, Mossbauer, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy that each complex undergoes a spin-crossover in the solid state. In all four complexes, we observe very gradual and incomplete S = 5/2, 5/2 to S = 1/2, 1/2 spin-crossover processes, with three of the four complexes exhibiting nearly identical magnetic properties. We investigated the electronic properties of the complexes by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, and attempted electropolymerization reactions with acetonitrile solutions of the complexes, which were not successful. Each complex features a single iron(3+) reduction wave at approximately -0.7 V (versus ferrocene), and the oxidation of the 2,2'-bithienyl substituent occurs at +1.1 V. These materials represent a new structural paradigm for the study of rare bimetallic iron(3+) spin-crossover complexes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
