A series of trinuclear molybdenum nitrosyl complexes has been prepared using the dinucleating ligands 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine (HL1), 1-(4-pyridyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethene (HL2) and -ethane (HL3), and the trinucleating ligands 3,5-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridine (H2L4) and 2,6-bis(4-ethenylpyridyl)-4-hydroxytoluene (HL5). These complexes are of the type [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2] (text-decoration:underlineMo = Mo(NO)TpMe,Me, TpMe,Me = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate; E = nothing, CHCH and CH2CH2; py = C5H4N or C5H3N; from HL1, HL2 and HL3), [Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl] (from H2L4), and [Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}] (from HL5). The species [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2] contains one 16 valence electron (ve) ([text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4â}2]) and two 17 ve centres ([(âpy)text-decoration:underlineMoCl]), [Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl] has two 16 ([Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4â}]) and one 17 ([(âpy)text-decoration:underlineMoCl]) ve centres and [Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}] one 16 and two 17 ve centres. Reduction of these species by cobaltocene in tetrahydrofuran/dichloromethane mixtures affords complexes having three 17 ve centres with one unpaired electron per metal centre. The interaction between these unpaired electrons in solution is determined by the relationship between |J|, the electron spinâspin exchange interaction, and AMo, the molybdenum hyperfine coupling constant, which was detected by EPR spectroscopy. In [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2], the interaction was dependent on ligand conformation, |J| â AMo when E = nothing, |J| â«Â AMo when E = CHCH and |J| âªÂ AMo when E = CH2CH2. Reduction of [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2] to [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]â resulted in exchange between all three spins irrespective of ligand conformation, and the EPR spectra of [Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2â and [Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}]â were similar to that of [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]â. Oxidation reconstitutes the original EPR spectra of [text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2], [Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl] and [Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}]. This behaviour is consistent with full three centre interaction being âswitched onâ when the 17â¶16â¶17 or 16â¶17â¶16 ve systems are reduced to a 17â¶17â¶17 ve system, and âswitched offâ on reoxidation.
一系列三核钼硝酰配合物已经使用二核配体4-(4-羟基苯基)pyridine(HL1)、1-(4-吡啶基)-2-(4-羟基苯基)-乙烯(HL2)和-乙烷(HL3),以及三核配体3,5-二(4-羟基苯基)pyridine(H2L4)和2,6-二(4-乙烯基吡啶)-4-羟基甲苯(HL5)制备。这些配合物的类型为[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2](text-decoration:underlineMo = Mo(NO)TpMe,Me, TpMe,Me = 三(3,5-二甲基吡唑基)硼酸盐;E = nothing, CHCH 和 CH2CH2;py = C5H4N 或 C5H3N;来源于HL1、HL2和HL3),[Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl](来源于H2L4),以及[Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}](来源于HL5)。该物种[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]包含一个16价电子(ve)中心([text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4–}2])和两个17价电子中心([(-py)text-decoration:underlineMoCl]),而[Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]具有两个16价电子([Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4–}])和一个17价电子([(-py)text-decoration:underlineMoCl])中心,以及[Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}]具有一个16和两个17价电子中心。这些物种在四氢呋喃/二氯甲烷混合物中被羧基钴还原会生成具有三个17价电子中心和每个金属中心一个未成对电子的配合物。在溶液中,这些未成对电子之间的相互作用由|J|(电子自旋-自旋交换相互作用)与AMo(钼超细耦合常数)之间的关系决定,这种关系通过EPR光谱法得到检测。在[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]中,相互作用依赖于配体构象,当E = nothing时,|J|≈AMo;当E = CHCH时,|J|≥AMo;当E = CH2CH2时,|J|≤AMo。从[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]还原至[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]⁻时,无论配体构象如何,所有三个自旋之间都发生了交换,而[Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]⁻和[Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}]⁻的EPR光谱与[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]⁻的光谱相似。氧化过程重新构造了[text-decoration:underlineMoOC6H4Epytext-decoration:underlineMoCl}2]、[Cltext-decoration:underlineMo(OC6H4)}2pytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]和[Cltext-decoration:underlineMoOC6H3Me[CHCHpytext-decoration:underlineMoCl]2}]的原始EPR光谱。这种行为与当17↓16↓17或16↓17↓16价电子体系被还原为17↓17↓17价电子体系时,完全的三中心相互作用被“开启”,而在重新氧化时则被“关闭”的情况相一致。
