Abstract: | The electronic structures of chromium and vanadium centers coordinated by three reduced 1,2-diketones have been elucidated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a host of physical methods: X-ray crystallography; cyclic voltammetry; ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy; and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The metal center in octahedral CrIII(L*)3]0 (1), a CrIII (d3) ion is coupled antiferromagnetically to three monoanionic ligand pi-radicals affording an S ) 0 ground state. In contrast, Na2(Et2O)2VIV(LRed)3] (2) (S ) 1/2), possesses a central VIV (d1) ion O,OE-coordinated to three closed-shell, doubly reduced ligands which in turn are coordinated by two Na cations enforcing a trigonal prismatic geometry at the vanadium center. 2 can be oxidized electrochemically by one and two electrons generating a monoanion, V(L)3]1-, and a neutral species, V(L)3]0, respectively. DFT calculations atthe B3LYP level show that the one-electron oxidized product contains an octahedral VIV ion coupled antiferromagnetically to one monoanionic ligand pi-radical VIV(L*)(LRed)2]1- (S ) 0). In contrast, the two-electron oxidized product contains a VIII ion coupled antiferromagnetically to three ligand pi-radicals in an octahedral fieldVIII(L*)3]0 (S ) 1/2). |
