Abstract

New five-coordinate complexes Co(ISQ-Pri)2Cl, Co(ISQ-Me)2Cl, Co(ISQ-Me)2I, Co(ISQ-Me)2(SCN), Mn(ISQ-Pri)2Cl, and Fe(ISQ-Me)2Br (ISQ-Pri and ISQ-Me are the 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-and 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-o-iminobenzosemiquinone radical anions, respectively) were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy and magnetochemistry. The molecular structures of the Fe(ISQ-Me)2Br and Mn(ISQ-Pri)2Cl complexes were established by X-ray diffraction. The singlet ground state (S = 0) of the cobalt complexes is caused by antiferromagnetic coupling between the unpaired electrons of the radical ligands (S = 1/2) through the fully occupied atomic orbitals of low-spin cobalt(III) (d6, S = 0). The effective magnetic moments of the complexes at 10 K are 0.18 μB for Co(ISQ-Pri)2Cl and 0.16 μB for Co(ISQ-Me)2I. The ground state of the manganese complex is triplet (S = 1). Two unpaired electrons of the o-iminobenzosemiquinone ligands are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled with two of four unpaired electrons of high-spin manganese(III) (d4, S = 2).
