High-spin ground states via electron delocalization in mixed-valence imidazolate-bridged divanadium complexes.

چکیده
The field of molecular magnetism has grown tremendously since the discovery of single-molecule magnets, but it remains centred around the superexchange mechanism. The possibility of instead using a double-exchange mechanism (based on electron delocalization rather than Heisenberg exchange through a non-magnetic bridge) presents a tantalizing prospect for synthesizing molecules with high-spin ground states that are well isolated in energy. We now demonstrate that magnetic double exchange can be sustained by simple imidazolate bridging ligands, known to be well suited for the construction of coordination clusters and solids. A series of mixed-valence molecules of the type [(PY5Me(2))V(II)(micro-L(br)) V(III)(PY5Me(2))](4+) were synthesized and their electron delocalization probed through cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. Magnetic susceptibility data reveal a well-isolated S = 5/2 ground state arising from double exchange for [(PY5Me(2))(2)V(2)(micro-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolate)](4+). Combined modelling of the magnetic data and spectral analysis leads to an estimate of the double-exchange parameter of B = 220 cm(-1) when vibronic coupling is taken into account.

Tetracyanide-bridged divanadium complexes: redox switching between strong antiferromagnetic and strong ferromagnetic coupling.
Reaction of [(Me3tacn)V(CF3SO3)3] (Me3tacn = N,N',N''-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) with LiCN in DMF results in oligomerization of cyanide to form [(Me3tacn)2V2(CN)4(mu-C4N4)]. The structure of this binuclear complex features a planar tetracyanide unit bridging two VIV centers via imido type linkages. The conjugated pathway provided by the bridging ligand leads to strong antiferromagnetic ...

متن کاملProbing the localized-to-delocalized transition.
Detailed understanding of the transition between localized and delocalized behaviour in mixed valence compounds has been elusive as evidenced by many interpretations of the Creutz-Taube ion, [(NH3)5Ru(pz)Ru(NH3)5]5+. In a review in 2001, experimental protocols and a systematic model to probe this region were proposed and applied to examples in the literature. The model included: (i) multiple or...
متن کاملA New Paradigm for Design of High-Spin Organic Molecules: The Mechanism of Spin-dependent Delocalization in Exchange-Coupled Mixed-Valent Organic Species
A theory is developed to describe the electronic structure of mixed-valent, exchange-coupled organic biradicals. The phenomena described are analogous to those of spin-dependent delocalization observed in binuclear inorganic complexes in the sense that coupling of delocalized hole states favors a triplet state over a singlet state. However, the mathematical description of the delocalization is ...
