Role of the Spin State
-
Synthesis of N[N,N]FeCl3 systems and
measurement of magnetic susceptibility gave a possible
rationale:
- R= alkyl, S = 5/2
- R= aryl, S = 3/2
- Hypothesis: The spin state of the Fe(III) species
controls the relative Halogenophilicity (ATRP) vs. the
Carbophilicity (OMRP) of the Fe(II) species.
