Abstract
The present work descries the strategic design and synthesis of a dinuclear mixed-valence Co(III)/Co(II) complex, [(N3)CoIIILr(μ-O2CR1)CoII(N3)]·CH3OH, which has been synthesized using an N2O4 donor compartmental ligand, H2Lr {(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(iminomethylene)bis(6-ethoxyphenol)}, CoCl2·6H2O, benzoic acid (R1CO2H) and NaN3 in 1: 2: 1: 2 ratio. Single crystal X-ray diffraction structure confirms the presence of a Co2O2 core in the complex. Co(III) center is present in the inner N2O2 donor pocket and cobalt(II) center is trapped in the outer O2O′2 donor pocket, as confirmed by bond length consideration and BVS calculation. Experimental effective magnetic moment supports the presence of three unpaired electron in the complex. DFT calculation is performed to confirm th oxidation state of The high spin configuration is 28.2 kcal/mol more stable than the low spin configuration at the CAM-B3LYP/Lanl2DZ/6-31G(d) level of theory, thus supporting the quadruplet nature of the complex.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
