EPR, resonance Raman, and DFT calculations on thiolate- and imidazole-bound iron(III) porphyrin complexes: Role of the axial ligand in tuning the electronic structure

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic3016035

Iron(III) porphyrin complexes bearing covalently attached imidazole and thiolate axial ligands are investigated using resonance Raman, electron paramagnetic resonance, and cyclic voltammetry. The thiolate ligand stabilizes a low-spin ground state in solve
