The influence of the charge and steric hindrance on the spin state of a series of four monomeric Fe-II complexes derived from the tridentate tigands 2-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (Hphenbi) and 2-(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl-9-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Hmphenbi) and their deprotonated forms (phenbi(-), mphenbi(-)) are investigated. The crystal structure and magnetic properties show that [Fe(Hphenbi)(2)](BF4)(2)center dot 1.5C(6)H(5)NO(2)center dot H2O (1) and its neutral form [Fe(phenbi)(2)]center dot 2CHCl(3)center dot H2O (2) are low-spin complexes at 400 K due to the strong ligand field imparted by the terpyridine-like tigand. In contrast, the steric hindrance induced by the methyl group in [Fe(Hmphenbi)21(BF4)2 (3) stabilizes the high-spin state of the Fe-II ion at all temperatures. Application of a hydrostatic pressure of 0.43 GPa shows that 3 displays incomplete thermal-induced spin crossover behaviour. However, upon deprotonation of the ligand the resulting neutral complex [Fe(mphenbi)(2)]center dot 2CHCl(3) (4) shows a complete two-step spin crossover behaviour at ambient pressure.
