Covalent Co–O–V and Sb–N Bonds Enable Polyoxovanadate Charge Control

چکیده
The formation of [{CoII(teta)2}{CoII2(tren)(teta)2}VIV15SbIII6O42(H2O)]·ca.9H2O [teta = triethylenetetraamine; tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine] illustrates a strategy toward reducing the molecular charge of polyoxovanadates, a key challenge in their use as components in single-molecule electronics. Here, a V-O-Co bond to a binuclear Co2+-centered complex and a Sb-N bond to the terminal N atom of a teta ligand of a mononuclear Co2+ complex allow for full charge compensation of the archetypal molecular magnet [V15Sb6O42(H2O)]6-. Density functional theory based electron localization function analysis demonstrates that the Sb-N bond has an electron density similar to that of a Sb-O bond. Magnetic exchange coupling between the VIV and CoII spin centers mediated via the Sb-N bridge is comparably weakly antiferromagnetic.

Spin-unrestricted DFT-X3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations have been performed on a series of complexes of the form [Co(H(2)O)(6-n)(NH(3))(n)](2+) (n = 0-6) to examine their equilibrium gas-phase structures, energetics, and electronic properties in their quartet electronic ground states. In all cases Co(2+) in the energy-minimised structures is in a pseudo-octahedral environment. The calculations o...

Charge densities have been determined by the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) from the high-resolution, low-temperature (T approximately 20 K) X-ray diffraction data of six different crystals of amino acids and peptides. A comparison of dynamic deformation densities of the MEM with static and dynamic deformation densities of multipole models shows that the MEM may lead to a better description of th...
