Cyclovoltammetric measurements of solutions containing the rather basic tetra-(2′-pyridyl)pyrazine allow to detect even traces of water and thus can be used as a touchstone for aprotic (cH⊕ < 1 ppm) conditions. On exchange of the “innocent” tetrabutylammonium R4N⊕ as supporting electrolyte cation by “interactive” ones such as Li⊕) or Na⊕, considerable changes in the reduction potentials are observed due to ion pair formation.
Conditions for ENDOR measurem ents of organosulfur radical cations are discussed and tested. The one electron oxidation of a variety of aromatic sulfur com pounds comprising benzene-1,2-dithiole, 1,4-dithiine, thianthrene and diphenylsulfide derivatives as well as 33S isotope-marked bis(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)disulfide is accomplished using the oxygen-free, powerful and selective AlCl3/H2CCl2 reagent. Partly with substantial structural changes, paramagnetic M⊕ species of 1,2-benzodithiete, 1,4-dithiine, thianthrene and diphenyl sulfide result. Their temperature-dependent ENDOR signal patterns provide numerous information e.g. on radical cation structure and dynamics, on the rather high sulfur spin populations or on the spin rotation interaction dominated relaxation behaviour. Accordingly, to obtain optimum ENDOR effects in organosulfur radical cations low temperature measurements are required, and especially for still undiscovered 33S ENDOR couplings, small g factor anisotropies and 33S spin densities appear to be necessary.
For the first time, 107,109Ag ENDOR measurements in solution are reported. In addition, the formation of the known paramagnetic contact ion pair [Ag⊕(PR3)2(R2H2C6O2·⊖] on reduction of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinone in THF solution containing soluble silver salts and triphenylphosphine is studied by cyclic voltammetry.
Semiquinone radical anions are prototype compounds for contact ion pair formation with metal counter cations. In order to investigate the still open question whether bulky alkyl groups can sterically interfere, diphenoquinone derivatives O=C(RC=CH)2C=C(HC=CR)2C=O with R = C(CH3)3, CH(CH3)2 and CH3 have been selected and the following ESR/ENDOR results are obtained for the alkaline metal cations: The tetrakis(tert-butyl)-substituted radical anion only adds Li⊕ and Na⊕, while K⊕ forms no ion pair. The 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetra(isopropyl)diphenoquinone radical anion is accessible to all cations Me⊕, although Rb⊕ and Cs⊕ seem to be present solvent-separated in solution. The tetramethyl-substituted radical anion unfortunately polymerizes rapidly. Additional information concerns the ESR/ENDOR proof for ion triple radical cation formation [Li⊕ M•⊖Li⊕]•⊕, or the difference in the coupling constants upon Me⊕ docking at one δ⊖O=C group, suggesting that about 87% of the spin density is located in the cation-free molecular half of the diphenoquinone radical anion. Based on the wealth of ESR/ENDOR information, crystallization of the contact ion pairs and their structural characterization should be attempted.
The one-electron transfer to large π-delocalized hydrocarbons provides an interesting possibility to crystallize solvent-separated ion-pair salts containing optimally solvated cations. Accordingly, the reduction of 9.9′-bianthryl in aprotic 1.2-dimethoxyethane (DME) solution at a sodium metal mirror allows to grow dark blue, brick-like crystals of its radical anion and threefold DME-solvated sodium cation. The structure of the radical anion is very similar to that recently published for the neutral molecule. According to AM 1 enthalpy hypersurface calculations based on the structural data, the torsion angle between 60° and 120° is determined by the lattice packing and the negative charge is -π-delocalized predominantly within only one anthracene subunit. The counter cation [Na⊕(DME)3], reported only three times so far, shows a sixfold propeller-like coordination of approximate D3 skeletal symmetry with contact distances Na⊕···O between 232 and 243 pm and angles ≮ONa⊕O varying between 69° and 159°. Due to the small repulsion between the chelating DME molecules, the isodesmically calculated Na⊕ solvation enthalpy is more negative than that of the analogous tetrahydrofuran complex [Na⊕(THF)6] - as confirmed by the laboratory experience that salts of less stable anions are preferentially crystallized from a strongly cation solvating DME solution.
The sodium salt of the most simple polynitro-substituted hydrocarbon anion. Na⊕⊖C(NO2)3, (for a hazard warning cf. [***]) crystallizes from ether solutions without and with addition of 18-crown-6 either in a polymer band. [(Na⊕⊖C(NO2)3)dioxane]∞, or as a solvent- separated ion pair, [(Na⊕/18-crown-6)(THF2]⊕[(Na⊕/18-crown-6)(O2N-C⊖(NO2)2)2]⊖. The Na⊕ cations are each 8-fold coordinated in hexagonal bipyramidal arrangement. According to extensive quantum-chemical calculations based on the structure coordinates, the formation of these novel salts can be traced back to the charge distribution in the anions ⊖C(NO2)3. which due to negatively charged oxygen centers are favorable complex ligands. The structure determining effects of solvation are discussed.
The following mixed-stack donor/acceptor complexes {D···A}∞ have been crystallized and their structures determined: {hexamethylbenzene···3,5-dicyano-1-nitrobenzene hexamethylbenzene···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞, {pyrene···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞, {anthracene···(3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene)2}∞, {N,N-dimethylanilin···3,5-dinitro- 1-cyanobenzene}∞ and { 1-3-phenylenediamine···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞. Their lattice packing consists of parallel layers, which contain either donors and acceptors as for hexamethylbenzene and pyrene or composite ones as in the 1:2 complex of anthracene with each one of the acceptors above and below its peripheral rings. The isostructural hexamethylbenzene complexes exhibit almost identical packing coefficients as well as a hexagonal coplanar arrangement of the C6(CH3)6 donors. Weak intermolecular van der Waals interactions are also observed between antiparallel cyano substituents. The interplanar n distances range between 334 and 353 pm, i. e. around 340 pm of two van der Waals n radii. In none of the complexes, however, significant structural changes in either the donor or the acceptor components due to the complex formation are observed. In both the crystals as well as in solution, the donor/acceptor complexes exhibit colours between yellow and red; their long-wavelength charge transfer absorption maxima, therefore, correspond to a lowering in excitation energy of only up to 1 eV relative to that of the components. The different charge transfer in the ground and the CT excited states is also discussed referring to other data such as vertical first ionization energies or interplanar distances {D···A}, as well as to results from semiempirical calculations based on the crystal structure data determined and including approximate configuration interaction.
Tetraphenyl-p-benzoquinone, according to its single crystal structure, shows some steric congestion: its quinone ring is distorted by 7° to a chair conformation, and its phenyl substituents are twisted around their CC axes between 46° and 72°. The half-wave reduction potentials of -0.57 and -1.25 V in acetonitrile confirm negligible π interaction of the phenyl substituents. Addition of alkalimetal tetraphenylborate salts lowers the second reduction potential due to contact ion formation, which can be confirmed by UV/VIS spectra recorded under aprotic conditions. Extensive ESR/ENDOR investigations prove the formation of the following species in THF solution: Tetraphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone radical anion contact ion pairs [M·⊖ Me⊕solv]' (Me⊕: Li⊕, Na⊕, Rb⊕, Cs⊕) and contact triple ion radical cations both with identical cations [M·⊖ (Me⊕solv)2]·⊕ (Me⊕: Li⊕, Na⊕, Cs⊕) and different cations [M·⊖ (Li⊕solv)(Me⊕solv)]·⊕ (Me⊕: Na⊕, Cs⊕). Addition of crown ethers can lead to external solvation of the Me⊕ counter cations, whereas cryptands form internal solvation complexes. The radical anion of 2,6-diphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone adds cations at its phenyl-free molecular half. The radical anion salt [tetraphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone·⊖ (Na⊕(tetrahydropyrane) 2)] could be crystallized and its structure determined at 200 K. In agreement with the Hirota sign rules for contact radicals in solution, the Na⊕ ion is found 62 pm above the π plane and 29° outside the axis of the CO bound, which is elongated due to one-electron reduction by 5 pm to 127 pm.
The following mixed-stack donor/acceptor complexes {D · · · A }∞ have been crystallized and their structures determined: { 1 ,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene · · · tetrabromo-p -benzoquinone}∞ , {hexamethylbenzene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ , { ( 1 ,2 ,4,5-tetramethyl-benzene)2 · · · tetrachloro -p -benzoquinone}∞ , {pyrene · · · tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone}∞ , {pyrene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ and {perylene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ . They exhibit an interesting lattice packing, especially the 2:1 tripeldecker sandwich of tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone, which crystallizes in a herringbone pattern. Their interplanar distances are around 340 pm, i. e. two van der Waals π radii. None of them , however, exhibits in neither the donor nor the acceptor components significant structural changes due to complex formation. Their colours range from orange-red to black in the crystal and to green in H2CCl2 solution. Their long-wavelengths charge transfer absorption maxim a correspond to a lowering in excitation energy of up to 2 eV relative to that of the components. The different charge transfer in the ground and excited states of the donor/acceptor complexes investigated is further discussed referring to data such as cyclovoltammetric reduction potentials as w ell as to results from semiempirical calculations based on the crystal structure data determined and including configuration interaction.
In an especially designed and sealed glass apparatus, a combination of UV/VIS and ESR spectroscopy measurements are performed to follow electron transfer reactions in aprotic (cH⊕ < 0,1 ppm) solution. For the sodium metal reductions of the tetracyano-substituted title compounds, the novel technique provides the following detailed information: 1,2,4,5- tetracyanobenzene is uniformly reduced to its radical anion, for which additional geometryoptimized MNDO calculations predict an already significant cyanine disortion. For 7,7,8,8- tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, UV/VIS band shape analysis allows to detect in the saturated THF reduction solution the 16300 cm-1 absorption of the donor/acceptor complex formed in the equilibrium TCNQ·⊖ + TCNQ ⇆ {TCNQ·⊖···TCNQ}, which according to a literature search has been crystallized and structurally characterized in paramagnetic salts such as [Me2⊕ (TCNQ·⊖)2(TCNQ)].
