Unexpected stability of the iron(II) complex by an asymmetrical Schiff base from Fe(III): structure, magnetic and Mössbauer investigations by Dawit Tesfaye, Mamo Gebrezgiabher, Jonas Braun, Taju Sani, Sebastien Diliberto, Pascal Boulet, Nandakumar Kalarikkal, Christopher E. Anson, Annie K. Powell, Madhu Thomas

“…The asymmetric ligand L coordinates in a tridentate fashion through its pyridyl, azomethine and amino nitrogen atoms, generating a distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal ion. Variable temperature magnetic studies and a Mössbauer measurement show that the iron is locked in the low spin Fe(II) states.…”
