Abstract: | Mono- and dinuclear adducts of cobalt diketonates with tetradentate 4,7-phenanthroline- 5,6-dione were modeled within the framework of DFT UB3LYP*/6-311++G(d,p) approximation. A competitive coordination of the metal ion to different donor centers of the redox-active ligand was studied. Variation of substituents in the diketone moieties allowed one to reveal compounds than can undergo thermally initiated one- and two-step valence tautomeric rearrangements. The calculated energy and magnetic characteristics of the dinuclear complexes give reasons to consider them as potential basis of molecular electronics and spintronics devices. |
