Abstract
Co(II) was doped into the diamagnetic one-dimensional framework of bis(dimethylglyoximato) Ni(II) and Pd(II) complex [Ni/PdII(Hdmg)2] (Hdmg = dimethylglyoximate anion) (hereafter referred to as Co@Ni and Co@Pd samples) to study magnetic properties as a potential spin qubit. The previous report of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of this compound prepared using the same doping strategy in the Ni matrix observed a spectrum assigned to S = 1/2 Co(II) with gx = 2.58, gy = 2.26 gx = 1.98. The relatively large gx value, compared to those typically observed in [Co(Hdmg)2Bx] complexes (B = Lewis base ligand, x = 1 or 2), which fall within the ranges gx = 2.1 - 2.4, gy = 2.0 - 2.2 and gz ≈ 2.01, led to the interpretation of this species as Co(Hdmg)2 with an extremely axial interaction. However, our EPR analysis, combined with SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) and XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) analysis, revealed that the previously identified species are μ-O bridged dimers: [Co(Hdmg)(μ-Hdmg)]2 and [Co(Hdmg)(μ-Hdmg)][Ni/Pd(Hdmg)(μ-Hdmg)]. Furthermore, our liquid-helium temperature EPR spectra revealed a Co species with much greater axial g anisotropy (gx = 4.75 gy,z ≈ 0.75 for Co@Ni and gx = 4.2 gy,z ≈ 1.33 for Co@Pd). We assign this species to the truly planar Co(Hdmg)2 with negligibly weak axial interaction, which might have been overlooked in the previous EPR studies.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
