Synthesis and Electronic Structure of Anionic 1,1'-diphosphametallocenes of Chromium and Iron

In this work, we report two anionic diphosphametallocenates, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][M(PC4Me4)2] (M = Cr, 2-Cr; Fe, 2-Fe). Both are low-spin (S = ½) by EPR spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry. This contrasts the high-spin (S = ) ferrocenate, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][Fe(C5H2-1,2,4-tBu)2] (4-Fe). Quantum chemical ca...

Zusammenfassung:In this work, we report two anionic diphosphametallocenates, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][M(PC4Me4)2] (M = Cr, 2-Cr; Fe, 2-Fe). Both are low-spin (S = ½) by EPR spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry. This contrasts the high-spin (S = ) ferrocenate, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][Fe(C5H2-1,2,4-tBu)2] (4-Fe). Quantum chemical calculations suggest this is due to significant differences in ligand field splitting of the d-orbitals which also explain structural features in the 2-M complexes.
