(TCNQ)22-基氢键分子磁体表现出非常强的反铁磁偶合作用

合成并表征了一种新的离子对化合物[4-NH2-Py][TCNQ](其中4-NH2-Py+是4-氨基吡啶阳离子,TCNQ-为7,7,8,8-四氰基对苯二醌二甲烷自由基阴离子)。在该离子对化合物晶体中,2个TCNQ-离子形成了面对面堆积的二聚体;阴离子中的氰基分别和阳离子上的氨基、吡啶质子化氮原子之间存在非常强的分子间氢键。通过氢键作用,相邻的TCNQ-二聚体被阳离子连成三维氢键网络。变温磁化率测量表明,在2～400 K温度范围内,该离子对化合物表现为抗磁性。在密度泛函理论框架下,用对称性破损方法计算了化合物晶体中π二聚体内以及通过氢键连接的相邻的TCNQ-离子之间的磁交换常数,发现π二聚体内存在非常强的反铁磁交换作用,与之相比,通过氢键连接的TCNQ-离子之间的磁交换作用可以忽略。π二聚体内强反铁磁交换作用(J/kB≈1805 K)导致了该化合物基本表现为抗磁性。

1,2′-二氰基-1,2′-二硫烯镍(II)离子对配合物的合成及晶体结构和弱相互作用

二氰基二硫烯(mnt和i-mnt)的金属配合物因其结构独特并呈现出特殊的光、电和磁学等性质,多年来引起科学家们广泛的关注[1-2].特别是在含Ni(mnt)2阴离子的离子对配合物中,功能阳离子的大小和构型改变可以导致Ni(mnt)2阴离子的重叠模式和堆积方式的变化,从而影响这类配合物的物理性能[3-5].为进一步探索取代苄基吡啶鎓离子中取代基团对1,2′-二氰基-1,2′-二硫烯镍配合物的结构的影响,我们在以前工作的基础上[6-8],合成了1种新的1,2′-二氰基-1,2′-二硫镍(II)离子对配合物[Bz(Me)Py]2[Ni(mnt)2],用元素分析、红外光谱和X-射线衍射表征了其组成和结构,讨论了配合物晶体中弱的相互作用.     

Stack pattern of the countercation-modulating magnetic property of low-dimensional [Pt(mnt)₂]⁻ monoanion spin systems

Three [1-N-(4'-R-benzyl)-4-aminopyridinium][Pt(mnt)(2)] compounds were structurally and magnetically characterized, where the substituent was attached to the para-position of the phenyl ring (R = CN (1), Cl (2), and H (3); mnt(2-) = maleonitriledithiolate). 1 and 2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with the cations and anions forming segregated columnar stacks. Their structural differences involved two aspects: (1) both anion and cation stacks were regular in 1 and irregular in 2; (2) the neighboring cations were arranged in the boat-type pattern in 1, whereas these cations were in the chair-type pattern in 2 within the cation stack. 3 belonged to the triclinic space group P ?1, where the anions were assembled into the stack with a tetrameric [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) subunit, but the cations did not form the columnar stack. Magnetic measurements disclosed that a spin-Peierls-type transition occurred around 240 K for 1, whereas a long-range, antiferromagnetic ordering took place at about 5.8 K, and a metamagnetic phenomenon was observed with H(C) ≈ 1000 Oe for 2; 3 showed very strong antiferromagnetic interactions with diamagnetism in the temperature range 5-300 K. Combined with our previous studies, the correlation between the stacking pattern of benzylpyridinium derivatives in a cation stack and the spin-Peierls-type transition is discussed for the series of quasi-1-D [M(mnt)(2)](-) (M = Ni, Pd and Pt) compounds.     

Chiral metal-dithiolene/viologen ion pairs: synthesis and electrical conductivity

Enantiomerically pure dithiolene complexes NBu4[Ni[(R,R)-diotte)2] and NBu4[Ni((S,S)-diotte]2] (diotte2- = a 1,3-dioxolane-tetrathiaethylene), were prepared from the corresponding enantiomers of a diotte2- precursor. The structure of the precursor was solved by single-crystal X-ray analysis; desulfurization afforded a novel tetrathiafulvalene derivative. Combination of the complex monoanion with the enantiomers of the viologen derivative bis(2-methyl-3-hydroxypropyl)-4,4'-dipyridinium (HiBV2+) afforded enantiomeric and diastereomeric ion-pair complexes of the type HiBV[Ni(diotte)2]2. For comparison, the analogous compounds A[Ni(diotte)2]2, (A2+ = methyl (MV2+), octyl (OV2-), stearyl (StV2+) viologen or two 2,2'-bipyridinium acceptors), HiBV-[Ni(diotte)L] [L = mnt2- (maleonitrile-1,2-dithiolate), dmit2- (2-thioxo-1,3-dithiol-4,5-dithiolate)], MV[Ni(dmit)2)]2, [Ni(diotte)2], and [Ni(diotte)(dmit)] were synthesized. An X-ray powder diffraction structural analysis of MV-[Ni(dmit)2)]2 revealed the presence of mixed stacks that contain the sequence anion-anion-cation. While no short contacts are observable within a stack, these are observed between the stacks for the dication-anion interaction by short S...H distances in the range of 2.77 to 2.86 A, and for the anion-anion interaction short S...S distances of 3.55 to 3.65 A. In agreement with the absence of intrastack interactions, no ion-pair charge-transfer band can be detected in this and the other complexes. ESR and UV/Vis data suggest that in [Ni(diotte)2]- electron delocalization is less pronounced than in the corresponding mnt2- and dmit2- complexes. The specific electrical conductivity (sigma) of pressed powder pellets ranges from 10(-2) to 10(-12) ohm(-1) cm(-1) and in all cases increases with increasing temperature (293 - 393 K) according to an Arrhenius law. Corresponding activation energies vary from 0.14 to 0.93 eV and increase linearly with log a for structurally similar ion pairs. Charge generation is postulated to occur by disproportionation of the monoanion as suggested by the almost linear increase of log(sigma) with decreasing disproportionation energy. The conductivity of diastereomers of ions with two unlike configurations like [(S,S)-HiBV]-[Ni[(R,R)-diotte]2]2 (1.1 x 10(-1) ohm(-1) cm(-1)) is one to two orders of magnitude higher as compared to the diastereomers with two like-configured ions.     

Quasi-one-dimensional molecular magnets based on derivatives of (fluorobenzyl)pyridinium with the [M(mnt)2] monoanion (M = Ni, Pd or Pt; mnt2- = maleonitriledithiolate): syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties

The syntheses, structural characterizations and magnetic behaviors of three new complexes, 1-(3',4',5'-trifluorobenzyl)pyridinium [M(mnt)2]- [M = Ni (1), Pd (2) or Pt (3)], are reported. These complexes are isomorphous and their prominent structural character is that the [M(mnt)2]- anions form columnar stacks, in which the dimerization was observed. Complexes 2 and 3 are diamagnetic, while 1 possesses an energy gap of 2474 K. For crystal 4, 1-(4'-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium [Ni(mnt)2] (its structure and magnetic susceptibility were briefly reported earlier), the magnetic behavior can be divided into two regimes, namely, weakly ferromagnetic coupling above 93 K and strongly antiferromagnetic coupling below 93 K. A transition occurs at 93 K which switches the magnetic exchange nature from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic. A sharp thermal abnormality with lambda-shape, associated with the transition, appears from its heat capacity measurement to indicate that the transition is first order. The temperature dependences of the superlattice diffractions revealed the existence of the pretransitional phenomena up to at least 140 K. The unusual magnetic behavior of 4, such as the origin of the ferromagnetic interaction in the high temperature phase and what causes the spin transition, are discussed further.     

Heterospin systems constructed from [Cu2Ln]3+ and [Ni(mnt)2]1-,2- Tectons: First 3p-3d-4f complexes (mnt = maleonitriledithiolato)

New heterospin complexes have been obtained by combining the binuclear complexes [{Cu(H(2)O)L(1)}Ln(O(2)NO)(3)] or [{CuL(2)}Ln(O(2)NO)(3)] (L(1) = N,N'-propylene-di(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato); L(2) = N,N'-ethylene-di(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato); Ln = Gd(3+), Sm(3+), Tb(3+)), with the mononuclear [CuL(1)(2)] and the nickel dithiolene complexes [Ni(mnt)(2)](q)- (q = 1, 2; mnt = maleonitriledithiolate), as follows: (1)infinity[{CuL(1)}(2)Ln(O(2)NO){Ni(mnt)(2)}].Solv.CH(3)CN (Ln = Gd(3+), Solv = CH(3)OH (1), Ln = Sm(3+), Solv = CH(3)CN (2)) and [{(CH(3)OH)CuL(2)}(2)Sm(O(2)NO)][Ni(mnt)(2)] (3) with [Ni(mnt)2]2-, [{(CH(3)CN)CuL(1)}(2)Ln(H(2)O)][Ni(mnt)(2)]3.2CH(3)CN (Ln = Gd(3+) (4), Sm(3+) (5), Tb(3+) (6)), and [{(CH(3)OH)CuL(2)}{CuL(2)}Gd(O(2)NO){Ni(mnt)(2)}][Ni(mnt)(2)].CH(2)Cl(2) (7) with [Ni(mnt))(2]*-. Trinuclear, almost linear, [CuLnCu] motifs are found in all the compounds. In the isostructural 1 and 2, two trans cyano groups from a [Ni(mnt)2]2- unit bridge two trimetallic nodes through axial coordination to the Cu centers, thus leading to the establishment of infinite chains. 3 is an ionic compound, containing discrete [{(CH(3)OH)CuL(2)}(2)Sm(O(2)NO)](2+) cations and [Ni(mnt)(2)](2-) anions. Within the series 4-6, layers of discrete [CuLnCu](3+) motifs alternate with stacks of interacting [Ni(mnt)(2)](*-) radical anions, for which two overlap modes, providing two different types of stacks, can be disclosed. The strength of the intermolecular interactions between the open-shell species is estimated through extended Hückel calculations. In compound 7, [Ni(mnt)(2)](*-) radical anions coordinate group one of the Cu centers of a trinuclear [Cu(2)Gd] motif through a CN, while discrete [Ni(mnt)(2)](*-) units are also present, overlapping in between, but also with the coordinated ones. Furthermore, the [Cu(2)Gd] moieties dimerize each other upon linkage by two nitrato groups, both acting as chelate toward the gadolinium ion from one unit and monodentate toward a Cu ion from the other unit. The magnetic properties of the gadolinium-containing complexes have been determined. Ferromagnetic exchange interactions within the trinuclear [Cu(2)Gd] motifs occur. In the compounds 4 and 7, the [Ni(mnt)(2)](*-) radical anions contribution to the magnetization is clearly observed in the high-temperature regime, and most of it vanishes upon temperature decrease, very likely because of the rather strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the open-shell species. The extent of the exchange interaction in the compound 7, which was found to be antiferromagnetic, between the coordinated Cu center and the corresponding [Ni(mnt)(2)](*-) radical anion, bearing mostly a 3p spin type, was estimated through CASSCF/CASPT2 calculations. Compound 6 exhibits a slow relaxation of the magnetization.     

Observation of metal ion dependent packing structures and magnetic behaviors of metal-bis-1, 2-dithiolene complexes

The crystal structures and magnetic properties were investigated experimentally and theoretically for two S = ? spin chain complexes, which consist of [M(mnt)(2)](-) (M = Pt for 1 or Pd for 2) with 1-(4'-bromo-2'-flurobenzyl)-4-aminopyridinium (1-BrFBz-4-NH(2)Py(+)). The 1-BrFBz-4-NH(2)Py(+) cations exhibit different molecular conformations and arrangements in 1 and 2; the [M(mnt)(2)](-) anions form regular stacks in 1, whereas they form irregular stacks in 2. In addition, the intermolecular interactions between the [M(mnt)(2)](-) anions and cations are also different from each other in the crystals of 1 and 2. Complex 1 shows the magnetic characteristics of a low-dimensional antiferromagnetic coupling spin system with a spin-Peierls-type transition around 7 K, and complex 2 exhibits diamagnetism over the temperature range of 5-300 K. Theoretical analyses, based on the calculations for the charge density distributions of [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) and [Pd(mnt)(2)](-) anions and the magnetic exchange constants within the anion spin chains, addressed the diverse molecular alignments in the crystals of 1 and 2 and distinct magnetic behaviors between 1 and 2.

合成了一种新的含取代苄基三苯基鏻的马来二氰基二硫烯镍配合物[ClBzTPP]2[Ni(mnt)2].H2O([ClBzTPP]+代表对氯苄基三苯基鏻阳离子,mnt2-代表马来二氰基二硫烯阴离子).配合物为三斜晶系,空间群P墿,晶胞参数为a=1.058 5(2)nm,b=1.108 9(2)nm,c=1.157 0 nm,α=81.98(1)°,β=84.95(1)°,γ=84.45(1)°,V=1.369 1(4)nm3,Z=1,最终一致性因子R=0.058 4.该配合物由2个[ClBzT-PP]+阳离子,1个[Ni(mnt)2]2-阴离子和1个H2O组成.其结构特点是配合物中的[ClBzTPP]+阳离子和Ni(mnt)22-阴离子沿c轴方向堆积成柱,并通过C—H…S,C—H…π,C—H…Ni氢键和π-π堆积作用形成了二维网状结构.     

An ion-pair complex [TTF][Pd(mnt)2]: synthesis,crystal structure,magnetic property,and electrical conductivity

A new ion-pair complex, [TTF][Pd(mnt)₂] (1), where TTF⁺ =?tetrathiafulvalene and mnt^2??=?maleonitriledithiolate, was synthesized and characterized structurally. Compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1, with a?=?8.008(5)?Å, b?=?11.333(8)?Å, c?=?11.373(6)?Å, α?=?108.112(7)°, β?=?91.550(5)°, γ?=?95.232(5)°, and V?=?975.2(11)?ų. The [TTF]⁺ cations (C) and [Pd(mnt)₂]^? anions (A) form mixed stacks in …AACCAACC… fashion, and the neighboring mixed stacks are held together via van der Waals forces in the crystal. Compound 1 shows weak Curie/Weiss-type magnetic behavior from 2 to 370?K; theoretical investigation disclosed the existence of strongly antiferromagnetic coupling in both [Pd(mnt)₂]₂ ^2? and [TTF]₂ ²⁺ dimer pairs via frontier orbitals overlap mechanism and weakly ferromagnetic coupling between the face-to-face overlapped [TTF]⁺ and [Pd(mnt)₂]^? via spin polarization mechanism within a mixed stack. The powdered pellet electrical conductivity measurement indicated that 1 shows semiconductor character with activation energy of 1.1(3)?eV.     

Ion pair charge-transfer complexes between anionic and cationic metal-dithiolenes [M(II) = Pd,Pt

New [M(R(2)pipdt)(2)](BF(4))(2) salts [R(2)pipdt = N,N'-dialkyl-piperazine-2,3-dithione; M = Pd(II), R = Me and M = Pt(II), R = Me, Et, Pr(i)] bearing redox-active cationic dithiolene complexes have been prepared and characterized. These cations react with the redox-active [M(mnt)(2)](2-) [M = Pd(II), Pt(II); mnt = maleonitrile-2,3-dithiolate] anionic dithiolenes to form salts describable as ion pair charge-transfer complexes. X-ray crystallographic studies have shown that [M(Me(2)pipdt)(2)][M(mnt)(2)] complexes, with M = Pd(II) and Pt(II), are isomorphous. Crystal data of the Pt salt (3a): triclinic, Ponemacr; (No. 2); Z = 1; T = 293(2) K; a = 6.784(7) A, b = 8.460(6) A, c = 13.510(5) A, alpha = 100.63(2) degrees, beta = 104.04(2) degrees, gamma = 96.90(2) degrees; R1 = 0.0691 [wR2 = 0.2187 (all data)]. Structural data show that approximately square-planar [Pt(Me(2)pipdt)(2)] dications and regular square-planar [Pt(mnt)(2)] dianions form an infinite anion-cation one-dimensional stack along axis a with a Pt...Pt a/2 distance of 3.392 A and a Pt...Pt...Pt angle of 180 degrees. Anions and cations arrange themselves face-to-face so as to take on a staggered arrangement. These salts exhibit strong absorptions in the visible-near-infrared region assigned to ion pair charge-transfer transitions. A relation between the optical and thermal electron transfer in the solid state is obtained using a "Marcus-Hush model", and a solid-state electrical conductivity in agreement with expectations is observed. Vibrational spectroscopy is in agreement with the existence of charge-transfer interactions between the cationic and anionic components of the salts.     

Ferromagnetic anomaly associated with the antiferromagnetic transitions in (donor)[Ni(mnt)2]-type charge-transfer salts

Three newly prepared [Ni(mnt)2] complexes, (HMTTF)[Ni(mnt)2], (ChSTF)[Ni(mnt)2], and (DBTTF)2[Ni(mnt)2], are reported (DBTTF = dibenzotetrathiafulvalene, ChSTF = 2,3-cyclohexylenedithio-1,4-dithia-5,8-diselanafulvalene, HMTTF = bis(trimethylene)-tetrathiafulvalene, and mnt = maleonitrile dithiolate). The former two compounds have usual DA-type (D = donor, A = acceptor) mixed stacks, whereas the DBTTF complex has DDDDAA-type 6-fold columns. These compounds are electrical insulators, but the HMTTF and ChSTF complexes exhibit chiT minima at 16 and 55 K, respectively, followed by chiT peaks at 8 and 16 K. Below these temperatures the ESR signal disappears, indicating antiferromagnetic transitions. The origin of the ferromagnetic interaction is explained either from the difference of the g values between the donor and the anion or from the intrinsic ferromagnetic interaction of the [Ni(mnt)2] anions.
