Abstract
The synthesis of the new ligand, BEDT‐TTF‐bipy [4,5‐ethylenedithio‐4′,5′‐(4′‐methyl‐2,2′‐dipyrid‐4‐ylethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] is reported. The first Fe^II^ coordination complex, namely [Fe(NCS)~2~(BEDT‐TTF‐bipy)~2~]**·**CHCl~3~, with this redox‐active ligand is obtained. Magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed the coexistence of high‐spin and low‐spin Fe^II^ species with a ratio of 40:60 in this compound. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
