Abstract

Tailoring of spin state energetics of transition metal complexes and even the correct prediction of the resulting spin state is still a challenging task, both for the experimentalist and the theoretician. Apart of the complexity in the solid state imposed by packing effects, molecular factors of the spin state ordering are required to be identified and quantified on equal rights. In this work we experimentally record the spin states and SCO energies within an eight‐member substitution‐series of N 4 O 2 ligated iron(II) complexes both in the solid state (SQUID magnetometry and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography) and in solution (VT‐NMR). The experimental survey is complemented by exhaustive theoretical modelling of the molecular and electronic structure of the open‐chain N 4 O 2 family and its macrocyclic N 6 congeners through density‐functional theory methods. Ligand topology is identified as the leading factor defining ground‐state multiplicity of the corresponding iron(II) complexes. Invariably the low‐spin state is sterically trapped in the macrocycles, whereas subtle substitution effects allow for a molecular fine tuning of the spin state in the open‐chain ligands. Factorization of computed relative SCO energies holds promise for directed design of future SCO systems.
