A Trinuclear Co(II) Complex Based on the Tris-Dioxolene Triphenylene Non-Innocent Bridge: Complementary Redox, Magnetic Behavior and Theoretical Calculations
A trinuclear Co(II)-containing complex was assembled using the non-innocent hexahydroxytriphenylene bridging ligand. Cyclovoltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry studies revealed that the central ligand sustained four reversible redox events, leading to different species with diverse optical behavior. Complementary analysis of the molecular structure confirmed by ab initio theoretical calculations were consistent with the bridge in the tris-semiquinone (sq) state for the trinuclear complex. The exchange coupling among the electrons of the bridge resulted in a spin doublet (s = ½) localized close to one of the three Co2+ ions, as suggested by the experimental magnetic data. The central doublet underwent one large antiferromagnetic exchange coupling with one Co(II) and almost no coupling with the two other metal ions.
