Table 1. Mössbauer fitting parameters for mixture of 1 and 2 at 80 K.

(3): FeCl2·4H2O (0.20 g, 1.0 mmol), was dissolved in methanol (5 mL) in
the presence of a small amount of ascorbic acid to prevent oxidation of
iron(II). KSCN (0.19 g, 1.0 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was added and the
mixture stirred for 15 minutes. The solution was separated from white
precipitate of potassium chloride by filtration and added dropwise to the
ligand, L (2 mmol) with stirring in deoxygenated methanol (20 mL). The
color of solution turned to violet and the precipitate was formed
immediately. The solid was filtered, washed with a small amount of cold
methanol and dried under vacuum. Yield: 0.39 g (62.9%). Element. Anal.
Calcd. for C31H44Fe1N6O1S2: C, 58.84; H, 6.97; N, 13.20. Found: C,

(νCN) (KBr). The single crystal was obtained from diffusion of diethylether
into a chloroform solution of each complex. 1 and 2 were prepared by
using either (R)-L or (S)-L, respectively. 3 was prepared by using 1:1
mixture of of (R)-L and (S)-L.
Physical measurement: The structure of the compounds 1 and 2 were
determined at 298 K and 278K, respectively. The crystals mounted on a
glass capillary. All the measurements were made on a Rigaku/MSC
Mercury CCD diffractometer with graphite monochromated Mo-Kα (λ=
0.71070 Å) radiation. The data were collected at 298±2 K and 278±2 K,
respectively. The maximum 2θ value is 55.0º. A total of 1240 oscillation
images were collected. Data were collected and processed using the
Crystalclear program (Rigaku). The linear absorption coefficients, μ, for
Mo-Kα radiation were 5.55 cm-1, 5.57 cm-1, respectively. The data were
corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects. The structure was solved
by direct method (SIR-92) and expanded using Fourier techniques. The
non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were
included for structure analysis but not refined. The final cycle of full-
matrix least-squares refinement was based on all reflections.
Computations were carried out on a SGI O2 computer using teXsan
crystallographic software package. The magnetic susceptibilities χ(T)
were measured between 5 K and 400 K with a superconducting quantum
interference device magnetometer (Quantum Design MPMS-5S) in an
external field of 0.5 T. LIESST experiment was done with using an Ar+
laser (λ = 532 nm, continuous wave) as a light source. The Mössbauer
spectrometer, with a 57Co/Rh source, was driven in the transmission
mode.
Conclusions
[Fe((R)-L)2(NCS)2] (1), [Fe((S)-L)2(NCS)2] (2), and [Fe((rac)-
L)2(NCS)2] (3) were prepared by using chiral/racemic ligands as
the starting materials. 1 and 2 existed in Δ and Λ enantiomer,
respectively. All complexes exhibited SCO behavior. The SCO
behaviors for 1 and 2 showed no differences in their magnetic
property but 3 was different from the one of 1 and 2. The T1/2
value for 3 at 230 K and for 1 and 2 at 204 K displayed such
variation. The racemic complex which was prepared by 50:50
ratio of each enantiomeric ligand existed as major contribution
of HS state. But an increased chirality (prepared from higher
ratio of either R or S) resulted in an increasing contribution of the
LS state.
