Electrochemical Behavior and Redox Switch Properties of [Zn(dmit)_2]~(2-)

The redox behavior of [Zn(dmit)2]2- and its electrodeposited film were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, and the Ⅰ-Ⅴ properties of the electrodeposited film were measured. The results show that [Zn(dmit)2]2- possesses good redox switch properties which exhibit good repeatability. It could be considered as a new material for molecular switch and memory.

An experimental and theoretical study of the electronic spectra of tetraethylammonium [bis(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)M(III)] and tetraethylammonium [bis(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato)M(III)] (M = Sb or Bi)

Metal complexes of dmit and related ligands, such as dmio, have been studied extensively over the last few decades: [dmit](2-) = bis(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato); [dmio](2-) = bis(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato). While much effort has been placed on determining structural properties, very few vigorous spectroscopic studies of these metal complexes have been undertaken. The spectroscopic features of the infrared, Raman and UV-vis spectra, previously reported, have largely been used to characterize compounds. In particular, many details of the electronic structure are still to be revealed. We now report a detailed analysis of the UV-vis spectra of the [M(dmit)](-1) and [M(dmio)](-1) anions, where M = Sb(III) or Bi(III). Experimental spectra were deconvoluted and analysed by several theoretical methodologies, including ab initio CI, TD and CISD calculations. The results led to the assignments of several MLCT/LMCT bands, occurring between 390 and 300 nm, and the confirmation of metal orbital contributions to the HOMO-LUMO boundary.     

The decomposition kinetics of [Et4N]2[M(dmit)2] (M = Ni, Pd) in a nitrogen atmosphere using thermogravimetry

Thermal properties and thermal decompositions of [NEt₄]₂[M(dmit)₂] (M = Ni(II), Pd(II), dmit = 1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate) have been studied by thermogravimetry (TG). The TG analysis has shown that the complexes are thermally stable up to 460 K and the decomposition of the complexes occurs in three consecutive stages up to 873 K. A thermal stability scale for [M(dmit)₂]ⁿ⁻ anions was based on the thermal properties. Kinetics parameters, such as activation energy, E_a, and kinetic apparent pre-exponential factor, ln A_app, have been calculated from the thermogravimetric data at heating rates of 10, 15, 20 and 25 K/min involving differential (Friedman's equation) and integral (Flynn-Wall-Ozawa's equation) methods.     

Synthesis and Conductivity of a New Series of Organometallic Charge Transfer Salts

In order to study the relationship between structure and conductivity, ten new organometallic radical ionic salts. [CpFeBz]_n[M(mnt)₂] and [CpFeBz]_n[M(dmit)₂] (M=Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Co; Cp=Cydopentadienyl; Bz=Benzene; H₂mnt=maleonitriledithiole; H₂dmit=4,5-dimercapto-1, 3-dithioie-2-thione; n=1 or 2), were synthesized according to a new synthetic route. They were characterized using elemental analysis, infrared and ¹H-nuclenr magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy. The crystal structure of [CpFeBz]₂[Ni(mnt)₂] was determined using X-ray diffraction. The electrical conductivity of siolid stale was reported. Gomplexes of [CpFeBz]_n[M(mnt)₂] showed a low conductivity, while complexes of [CpKeBz]_n[M(dmit)₂] exhibited a rather high conductivity in the range of 10^-1-10^-2S·cm^-1.
