Ambient-Stable Bis-Azoaromatic-Centered Diradical [(L • )M(L • )] Complexes of Rh(III): Synthesis, Structure, Redox, and Spin-Spin Interaction.
Inorganic Chemistry 2017 November 7
Bis-azoaromatic electron traps, viz. 2-(2-pyridylazo)azoarene 1, have been synthesized by colligating electron-deficient pyridine and azoarene moieties, and they act as apposite proradical templates for the formation of stable open-shell diradical complexes [(1•- )RhIII (1•- )]+ ([2]+ ), starting from the low-valent electron reservoir [RhI ]. The less stable monoradical [RhIII (1•- )Cl2 (PPh3 )3 ] (3) has also been isolated as a minor product. These π-radical complexes are multiredox systems, and the electron transfer processes occur exclusively within the pincer-type NNN ligand backbone 1. Molecular and electronic structures of the diradicals and monoradicals have been ascertained with the aid of X-ray diffraction, electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, and spectral (electronic, IR, NMR, and EPR) studies. In the diradicals [2]+ , the orthogonal disposition of two ligand π orbitals linked via a closed-shell metal center (t2 6 ) impedes significant coupling between the radicals. Indeed, the observed magnetic moment of [2a]+ lies near ∼2.3 μB over the temperature range 50-300 K. A very weak antiferromagnetic (AF) intramolecular spin-spin interaction between two ligand π arrays in [(1•- )RhIII (1•- )]+ have been found experimentally (J ≈ -5 cm-1 ), and this is further substantiated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the (U)B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level.
