Abstract: | Eight new sulfur-rich [CpCo(dithiolene)] complexes were synthesized from [Zn(dmit)2]2− as a starting material. The structures, electrochemical behavior and electronic absorption spectra of the sulfur-rich [CpCo(S2C2S2Y)] complexes could be compared with the early data of analogous Ni complexes. [CpCo(pddt)] (Y = -(CH2)3-), [CpCo(dpdt)] (Y = -CH2C(CH2)CH2-), [CpCo(bddt)] (Y = -(CH2)4-), [CpCo(dtdt)] (Y = -CH2SCH2-) and [CpCo(poddt)] (Y = -CH2C(O)CH2-) crystallized in all isostructural with the corresponding paramagnetic [CpNi(dithiolene)] complexes, but [CpCo(dmid)] (Y = CO), [CpCo(dddt)] (Y = -(CH2)2-) and [CpCo(F2pddt)] (Y = -CH2CF2CH2-) crystallized in non-isostructural with them. These molecules are associated with intermolecular short S?S contacts in the crystals. [CpCo(F2pddt)] did not show any remarkable S?S contacts but indicated interesting fluorine segregation and Cp?Cp face-to-face interactions. Redox potentials of [CpCo(dithiolene)] complexes were obtained with the cyclic voltammetry measurements and dimerized by electrochemical oxidations. Electronic absorption spectra of [CpCo(dithiolene)] complexes showed visible absorption in the range of 585-701 nm as lowest energy wavelengths (? = 9800-11,800 M−1 cm−1) in solutions, and they were higher energy than those of [CpNi(dithiolene)] complexes (near-IR). |
