Abstract
The original magnetism of a model spin crossover complex [Fe(H2Bpz2)2(bipy)] (H2Bpz2 = dihydrobis(1-pyrazolyl)borate, bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) has been altered from spin state switching to paramagnetic behavior, through grafting a weak electronic-donating group: bromomethyl (in 1) and Br (in 2) onto the bipy ligand at positions C5 and C5´. The introduction of the electron-donating bromo groups into the bipy ligand reduce the π-acceptor character, leading to a weaker ligand field strength, thus stabilizing the high-spin state.
