%0 Journal Article %T New insights on the electronic, magnetic, electric and molecular structure of a bis-(4-cyanopyridine) iron(III) complex with the meso-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin %V 486 %P 675-683 %U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020169318313112 %X We have successfully synthesized and characterized a new low-spin iron(III) bis(4-cyanopyridine) complex with a meso-porphyrin substituted in the para positions of the phenyls by the methoxy group, namely the bis(4-cyanopyridine)[(meso-tetrakis(4-metoxyphenylporphyrinato)]iron(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate chlorobenzene monosolvate complex with the formula [FeIII(TMPP)(4-CNpy)2]SO3CF3.C6H5Cl (I). This species was characterized through ultraviolet–visible, Fourier-transform infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as by SQUID magnetometry, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. These characterizations indicated that our synthetic heme model is a low-spin (S = 1/2) coordination compound and especially shows that the structural, electronic and the magnetic properties of complex (I) are closely dominated by the presence of the methoxy σ-donor group at the para positions of the meso-porphyrin. %J Inorganica Chimica Acta %A Ben Haj Hassen, Leila %A Dhifaoui, Selma %A Rousselin, Yoann %A Marvaud, Valérie %A Stern, Christine %A Schulz, Charles E. %A Nasri, Habib %D February 24, 2019 %K Cyclic voltammetry E-POM Iron(III) porphyrin Magnetic properties X-ray Molecular structure
