Abstract

For at least a day, stability is imparted to the light-induced, metastable, high-spin state of an iron(II) complex with a strong ligand field (see scheme) at ≥20 K. The lifetime of this state is more than eight orders of magnitude longer than that predicted by the theory of the inverse energy-gap law.

4a As per literature procedures,[5] a methanolic terpyridine solution was added slowly to a methanolic, mixed-metal chloride solution. Precipitation occurred after addition of NaClO₄. The salts FeCl₂, MnCl₂, and the tpy ligand were used as supplied by Aldrich Company. For ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer measurements on the diluted system with only 2 % iron, it was necessary to synthesize 1 with ⁵⁷Fe-enriched (about 90 %) salts which were prepared from metallic ⁵⁷Fe with HCl. The purity of the complexes was checked by elemental analysis and the iron content by AAS.

4b For Mössbauer measurements, about 30 mg of the polycrystalline ⁵⁷Fe-enriched samples were placed in a disc-shaped, polished PMMA container (approximately 4 cm² surface) and mounted in a helium cryostat for temperature variation between 10 K and 300 K. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra were recorded with a conventional spectrometer (measuring time typically 60 minutes per spectrum) and the isomer shift values are relative to α-iron. The samples were irradiated at 10 K with an argon-ion laser (514 nm, 25 mW cm⁻²).
