Reaction
of tetramethylpentafulvalene dianion (2) with (C5Me5)Ni(acac) (acac = acetylacetonate) gave the asymmetric
tetradecamethylbinickelocene Ni′Ni″ (M′ and M″
= penta- and nonamethylmetallocenyl, respectively). When (C5Me5)Co(acac)
was used in the reaction, Co′-C5Me4, a tetramethylpentafulvalene stabilized by a (C5Me5)Co fragment,
was obtained. The same reaction, followed immediately by oxidation with one equivalent of [Cp2Fe]+[PF6]− and
two equivalents of AgNO3, gave the tetradecamethylbicobaltocenium mono- and dications, Co′Co″+ and Co′+Co″+, respectively.
Two different metals were introduced in a tetradecamethylbimetallocene by first synthesizing a pentamethylnickelocene,
which was coupled to a tetramethylcyclopentadiene (Ni′-C5Me4H). When this was deprotonated,
the expected anion Ni′-[C5Me4]− rearranged to Ni″-[C5H4]−. MO calculations demonstrate that the rearrangement occurs through
the shift of a [(C5Me5)Ni]+ fragment from the non-methylated to the tetramethylated part of 2. Reaction of
Ni″-[C5H4]−
with (C5Me5)Co(acac) gave the mixed-metal compound Co′Ni″.Ni′Ni″ and Co′Ni″ have four and three unpaired electrons, respectively. They are shown by temperature-dependent
1H NMR spectra to couple antiferromagnetically; data fits yield J
=
−195 and −174 cm−1, respectively.
All paramagnetic compounds gave strongly shifted 1H and 13C NMR signals. The experimental shifts were converted to contact shifts that reflect the spin distribution within the molecules. The spin density proved to be delocalized from a given paramagnetic metallocene to the adjacent metallocene, regardless of whether it was diamagnetic
or paramagnetic. In the latter case this led to antiferromagnetic coupling. The spin distribution was analyzed
by means of MO calculations.Cyclic
voltammetry shows Co′+Co″+, Ni′Ni″ and Co′Ni″ to undergo electron transfers that introduce up to one negative
and four positive charges. The redox potentials proved to depend mainly on methylation and charge localization.
