Copper clusters built on bulky amidinate ligands: spin delocalization via superexchange rather than direct metal-metal bonding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Entry into a new class of tetra- and dicopper clusters was assisted by a fine steric tuning of bulky amidinate ligands that provide spin-delocalizing superexchange pathways in class III mixed-valence clusters, the properties of which are best understood without invoking metal-metal bonding.

No-pair bonding in coinage metal dimers.
High-level ab initio calculations at the coupled cluster with single and double substitutions and perturbative treatment of triple substitutions, CCSD(T), level of theory have been carried out for the dimers of coinage metal atoms Cu, Ag, and Au in the ground 1Sigma(g)+ state and in the excited 3Sigma(u)+ state. All of the calculations have been carried out with the inclusion of scalar-relativi...
متن کاملHigh-spin ground states via electron delocalization in mixed-valence imidazolate-bridged divanadium complexes.
The field of molecular magnetism has grown tremendously since the discovery of single-molecule magnets, but it remains centred around the superexchange mechanism. The possibility of instead using a double-exchange mechanism (based on electron delocalization rather than Heisenberg exchange through a non-magnetic bridge) presents a tantalizing prospect for synthesizing molecules with high-spin gr...
متن کاملHalf-sandwich bis(propiolamidinate) rare-earth metal complexes: synthesis, structure and dissociation of the cyclopentadienyl ligand via competition with an amidinate.
A comparative study on the stabilizing ability between C5Me4(SiMe3) (Cp' for short) and amidinate in rare-earth metal complexes is investigated. Cp' is found to dissociate from half-sandwich bis(propiolamidinate) lanthanides via competition with a propiolamidinate, which clearly shows that the coordinative ability of chelate amidinate is stronger than that of η(5)-Cp' under the present conditions.
متن کاملCodoping: A possible pathway for inducing ferromagnetism in ZnO
A detailed ab initio DFT/GGA and DFT /GGA+U investigation of codoping ZnO with Co and Cu ions reveals the role of Cu and the existence of optimum structural dopant configurations which could lead to the enhancement of ferromagnetism. The role of the Cu ions in Zn Co,Cu O is to act as superexchange mediators while causing a remote delocalization through the hybridization of the Cu d3z2−r2 spin-m...
