Abstract trans ‐[MIVF4(CN)2]2−(M=Re, Os), obtained from their homoleptic [MIVF6]2−parents. As shown by combined high‐field electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and magnetization measurements, the partial substitution of fluoride by cyanide ligands leads to a marked increase in the magnetic anisotropy oftrans ‐[ReF4(CN)2]2−as compared to [ReF6]2−, reflecting the severe departure from an ideal octahedral (Ohpoint group) ligand field. This methodology paves the way toward the realization of new heteroleptic transition metal complexes that may be used as highly anisotropic building‐blocks for the design of high‐performance molecule‐based magnetic materials. -

Abstract The first consistent series of mononuclear 17‐electron complexes of three Group 7 elements has been isolated in crystalline form and studied by X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. The paramagnetic compounds have a composition of [M0(CO)(CN
p ‐F‐ArDArF2)4] (M=Mn, Tc, Re; ArDArF2=2,6‐(3,5‐(CF3)2C6H3)2C6H2F) and are stabilized by four sterically encumbering isocyanides, which prevent the metalloradicals from dimerization. They have a square pyramidal structure with the carbonyl ligands as apexes. The frozen‐solution EPR spectra of the rhenium and technetium compounds are clearly anisotropic with large99Tc and185,187Re hyperfine interactions for one component. High‐field EPR (Q band and W band) has been applied for the elucidation of the EPR parameters of the manganese(0) complex. -

Abstract A new series of mono‐ and bis‐alkynyl CoIII(TIM) complexes (TIM=2,3,9,10‐tetramethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐1,3,8,10‐tetraene) is reported herein. The
trans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)Cl]+complexes were prepared from the reaction betweentrans ‐[Co(TIM)Cl2]PF6and HC2R (R=tri(isopropyl)silyl or TIPS (1 ), ‐C6H4‐4‐tBu (2 ), ‐C6H4‐4‐NO2(3 a ), andN ‐mesityl‐1,8‐naphthalimide or NAPMes(4 a )) in the presence of Et3N. The intermediate complexes of the typetrans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)(NCMe)](PF6)(OTf),3 b and4 b , were obtained by treating3 a and4 a , respectively, with AgOTf in CH3CN. Furthermore, bis‐alkynyltrans ‐[Co(TIM)(C2R)2]PF6complexes,3 c and4 c , were generated following a second dehydrohalogenation reaction between3 b and4 b , respectively, and the appropriate HC2R in the presence of Et3N. These new complexes have been characterized using X‐ray diffraction (2 ,3 a ,4 a , and4 c ), IR,1H NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy (4 c ), and cyclic voltammetry. -

Abstract The description of π‐donor amido moieties as ‘weak‐field’ ligands can belie the influence of metal‐ligand covalency on the overall ligand field of coordination complexes, which can in turn influence properties including the magnetic ground state and those of their excited states. In this contribution, the ligand fields of pseudo‐octahedral Ni(II) complexes supported by diarylamido pincer‐type amido ligands – three previously reported examples supported by asymmetric (2‐R‐phenanthridin‐4‐yl)(8‐quinolinyl)amido ligands (R = Cl, CF3,
t Bu;R L1 ) along with a new congener bearing a symmetricbis (8‐quinolinyl)amido ligand (BQA;L2 ) – were investigated in two ways. First, high‐frequency and ‐field electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (HFEPR), SQUID magnetometry, and electronic absorption spectroscopy were used to determine the ligand field parameters. Second, the ability to electrochemically address ligand‐based oxidations despite metal‐centered SOMOs in the parentS =1 paramagnets was investigated, supported by time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) identification of strong intervalence charge‐transfer (IVCT) transitions attributed to electronic communication between two Namidomoieties mediated by a Ni(II) bridge. These findings are discussed in the broader context of 3d transition metal coordination complexes of weak‐field π‐donor ligands. -

Abstract We report here a “nonspectator” behavior for an unsupported
L ‐function σ3‐P ligand (i.e. P{N[o ‐NMe‐C6H4]2},1a ) in complex with the cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl cation (Fp+). Treatment of1a ⋅Fp+with [(Me2N)3S][Me3SiF2] results in fluoride addition to theP ‐center, giving the isolable crystalline fluorometallophosphorane1aF ⋅Fp that allows a crystallographic assessment of the variance in the Fe−P bond as a function of P‐coordination number. The nonspectator reactivity of1a ⋅Fp+is rationalized on the basis of electronic structure arguments and by comparison to trigonal analogue (Me2N)3P⋅Fp+(i.e.1b ⋅Fp+), which is inert to fluoride addition. These observations establish a nonspectator L/X‐switching in (σ3‐P)–M complexes by reversible access to higher‐coordinate phosphorus ligand fragments.
