Use of a cubane-type Mo3CoS4 molecular cluster as paramagnetic unit in the synthesis of hybrid charge-transfer salts
摘要:
Selective substitution of the chlorine atom coordinated to cobalt in the paramagnetic Mo-3(CoCl)S-4 (dmpe)(3)Cl-3 (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphanyl) ethane) complex with a S = 1/2 ground state has been achieved by iodine oxidation to afford the also paramagnetic [Mo-3(CoI)S-4(dmpe)(3)Cl-3] I ([1]I) salt with a S = 1 ground state in almost quantitative yield. Replacement of chorine by iodine has no significant effect on the structural and electrochemical properties of the Mo3CoS4 system. Metathesis of the [1]I salt with the paramagnetic nickel anionic dithiolate [Ni(mnt)(2)] (mnt = maleonitrilodithiolate) affords [1](2)[Ni(mnt)(2)]. The stoichiometry evidenced by X-ray analysis reveals that reduction of the [Ni(mnt)(2)] radical to the corresponding diamagnetic closed shell [Ni(mnt)(2)](2) dianion, presumably via dismutation, has occurred during the metathesis process. The crystal structure of [1](2)[Ni(mnt)(2)] consists of [Ni(mnt) 2] 2 similar to dianions sandwiched by two cluster 1+ cations which yield {1(+)center dot[Ni(mnt)(2)](2)center dot 1(+)} subunits arranged along the crystallographic c axis. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for [1](2)[Ni(mnt)(2)] show a chi T product of 0.99 emu K/mol largely unchanged in the 10-300 K range. This behavior agrees with the presence of an S = 1 cluster 1(+) cation while the Ni(mnt)(2) moiety does not contribute to the paramagnetism of the sample. (C) 2010 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
