Controlling the Singlet−Triplet Splitting in Bisverdazyl Diradicals:  Steps toward Magnetic Polymers

Abstract: Density functional calculations were performed on 1,1‘,5,5‘-tetramethyl-6,6‘-dioxo-3,3‘-biverdazyl diradical (BVD) and BVD[CuI(PL3)]2 complexes (L = H, Me, OH, OMe, F) in order to investigate how Cu chelation affects the singlet−triplet splitting of the verdazyl system. It was found that donating ligands on Cu destabilize the singlet ground state. Size was also found to play a role, as smaller ligands allow for closer Cu−verdazyl contacts. Although a triplet ground state was not obtained for any of the molecul… Show more

“…Computational studies by Green and co-workers have subsequently supported this idea. 15 This contrasts with recently published work where the interaction between two verdazyls mediated by copper() was very small (≈2 cm Ϫ1 ). 16 In order to further probe the copper()-verdazyl interaction and in particular, the role of ancillary ligands, we have been studying the coordination chemistry of the chelating monoverdazyl 1,5-dimethyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-6-oxoverdazyl (pyvd).…”

“…7 Most of the diradicals constructed solely from verdazyl radicals and a suitable spacer are either antiferromagnetically coupled or very weakly ferromagnetically coupled. 3d,e, 10,11 The coupling constants of the diradicals constructed solely from nitronyl nitroxide radicals along with polyenic spacers also follow the same trend. 2 Recently, Polo et al investigated mixed diradicals constructed from tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and verdazyl and obtained moderately high positive coupling constants (J, of the order of 167 cm -1 ) for most of them.…”

“…It should be noted that Cu I complexes with two radical ligand units like [Cu(L1) 2 ] + are extremely rare and almost exclusively restricted to a few complexes with two verdazyl radical ligands. [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ] Interestingly, the singlet‐triplet energy difference in these systems could be tuned and strongly depends on the coordination mode.…”
