The preparation of the series of octahedral cobalt (III) spin-crossover complexes [CoL2]+ is described where the ligands L"=[(C5H5) Co| P (0) R2| 3]", with R= OCH3, OC2H5, OCH (CH3) 2, OCH2CH2CH2CH3, OCH2C (CH3) 3, C2H5, CH2C6H5, act as oxygen tripod ligands. Depending on the steric and electronic effects of the substituents R, a systematic fine tuning of the magnetic behavior, at a given temperature, from essentially high spin over spin equilibrium to completely diamagnetic can be achieved. The paramagnetic complexes are dark green; the diamagnetic complexes are yellow. The magnetic susceptibilities of the spin-crossover complexes in the solid state have been measured in the temperature range 4.2-320 K and in solution at 300 K. The spin transition in solution is fast on the NMR time scale, and the equilibrium can be described by a Boltzmann distribution between the high-spin and the low-spin state. The thermodynamic parameters AG, AH, and AS of the low-spin to high-spintransition have been determined from variable-temperature (170-330 K) 31P NMR spectra. The ligandfield spectra of the transition-metal complexes ML2, M= Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), characterize L" as very hard ligands whose position in the spectrochemical series is near that of fluoride. The variation of the substituents R in the ligands L" causes a small variation in ligand field strength in the order R= C2H5> OCH3» OC2H5» OCH2CH2CH2CH3> OCH (CH3) 2. This is in accord with the observed hs/ls ratio at 300 K in the opposite order R= OCH (CH3) 2» OCH2CH2CH2CH3> OC2H5> OCH3» C2H5 as determined from the 31P NMR spectra. The cause of the observed influence of the substituents R= alkoxy on the spin equilibrium position is very probably increasing interligand repulsion as the substituents become more bulky.
