T1 - Halogeno metallates of transition elements with cations of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic bases, IX. Moessbauer and ESR spectroscopic investigation of aquachloro- and bromoferrates(III). On the compatibility of structural information obtained by spectroscopic and diffraction methods N2 - The 57Fe-Moessbauer spectrum of (dmpipzH2)2[FeIII(H2O)2Cl4][FeIII Cl4]Cl2 (1) consists of two doublets caused by a strongly distorted octahedral and a non-distorted tetrahedral component. Both (dmpipzH2)[FeIIIBr4]2 (2) and (trienH2)[FeIIIBr4]Br (3) show only one doublet indicating a more strongly distorted iron(III) species for 2 and a less-distorted one in the case of 3. For all compounds investigated, the ESR spectra reveal the existence of ground states with predominant antiferromagnetic coupling. The Néel temperatures amount to <4.2 K for 1, 4 K for 3 and 48 K for 2. In the case of 2, both the Moessbauer and the ESR spectra reveal the formation of exchange-coupled {FeBr4} units which has been attributed to a significant cation influence. The fine structure of residual paramagnetic [FeBr4]- subunits remaining in the crystalline matrix could be directly determined. Temperature dependent AC and DC susceptibility measurements of 2 and 3 confirmed the results.
