The second or orange isomer of Fe(bpy)Cl2 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) has now been isolated by a new procedure and more completely characterized than before. Studies using M?ssbauer and far-infrared spectroscopy reveal that this isomer has five-coordinate, high-spin Fe(II) sites and both terminal chlorine atoms and bridging chlorine atoms. Magnetic susceptibility studies show that magnetic exchange in the orange isomer is extremely weak, allowing two single-ion effects (zero-field splitting and slow paramagnetic relaxation) to become evident at T a proposed molecular structure: a chain of five-coordinate Fe(II) centers and single chloro bridges. The syntheses and the characteristics of two FeLCl2 analogues of the orange Fe(bpy)Cl2 isomer (L = 4,4′-(C6H5)2- and 4,4′-(CH3)2bpy) are discussed briefly.
