A quantum chemical study was carried out for a number of iron(II) complexes [FeL2]AinH2O(L=2,6-bis(1H-imidazole-2-yl)pyridine (L1); 2,6-(4,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)pyridine (L2); 2,6-bis(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl)pyridine (L3); A=ReO4,B10H102,B12H122;n=0–2). These complexes exist in the low spin (LS) form1A1(totalelectron spin S=0) at room temperature and switch to the high spin (HS) form5T2(S=2) upon heating. The experimental isomeric shift and quadrupole splitting valuesfor compounds with L2exceed those for compounds with L1and L3by <0.02> mm/sand <0.1> mm/s, respectively (for LS forms). Such a discrepancy between MS param-eters can be explained by the assumption that chemical bonding between the ironion and the surrounding nitrogen atoms in the compounds with L2may be more ionicin character than that in the compounds with L1and L3. At the same time, the resultsobtained with the TPSSh hybrid meta-GGA functional gave a better agreement withthe experimental data than those obtained with the B3LYP exchange-correlationfunctional.
