These anions, which can be isolated as their tetraphenylphosphonium salts, contain the (X,Y)-ligand as a bidentate group. In the case of (X.Y) = monothioacetate the decarbonylated species [PPh,][Mo"(TA),] is formed. The reacions of the new complexes with ally1 bromide and methyl iodide are described.

The metal is coordinated to two TCNQ groups only when there is coordinative unsaturation on it. When n= 2 all the TCNQ units are radical anions and no charge delocahzation is observed. In the compounds with n= 3 only % of the TCNQ are negatively charged and a greater charge delocahzation is possible. This delocalization only appears when none of the TCNQ's are coordinated to the metal and it is reflected in the higher conductivity values obtained in the solid state.

Treatment of [Ru(CO)2(PPh3)z(THF)2] (BF4)2 with LiTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8tetracyanoquinodimethane) i... more Treatment of [Ru(CO)2(PPh3)z(THF)2] (BF4)2 with LiTCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8tetracyanoquinodimethane) in dichloromethane at reflux resulted in the formation of [Ru(CO)2(PPh3)2(TCNQ)]BF4 (1). The synthesis of the carbonylhydride compound [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(TCNQ)]2 (2) was carried out by reaction of RuHCI(CO)(PPh3)3 and TCNQ or from [RuH(CO)(PPh3)2(CH3CN)2]PF6 and LiTCNQ. The preparation of compounds with diphosphines [Ru(dppe)2(TCNQ)]zTCNQ(C104) (3) and [Ru(dppm)3 TCNQ]C104 (4) is also described. In all cases substitution reactions of labile ligands occurred with formation of compounds with a-coordinated TCNQ. From IR, UV-vis, 1H and 31p NMR spectroscopy and FAB mass spectrometric determinations, monomeric and dimeric compounds are proposed.

All of them are built by dimeric units (TCNQ) 2 2which are out of the coordination sphere in [Ni(dien) 2 ](TCNQ) 2 and σ-coordinated to the metal in cis and trans positions in [Ni(trien)(TCNQ) 2 ] and [Ni(cyclam)(TCNQ) 2 ], respectively. In the two latter compounds the bonded dimeric units (TCNQ) 2 2-, formed by intermolecular interactions, give rise to infinite chains consisting of alternating [Ni-(N 4)] 2+ and (TCNQ) 2 2moieties in the crystal. The existence of hydrogen bonds between the TCNQ nitriles and amine groups belonging to the metal fragments stabilizes the supramolecular architecture, increasing the dimensionality of the interactions. The spectroscopic and magnetic properties are discussed according to the structural models.

ABSTRACT The compound [Cu(cyclam)(TCNQ)2](TCNQ) (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, TCNQ... more ABSTRACT The compound [Cu(cyclam)(TCNQ)2](TCNQ) (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) has been obtained in two different crystallographic forms, isomers 1 and 2. Crystal data for isomer 1: triclinic, P1̄, a = 7.855(6) Å, b = 10.267(2) Å, c = 14.424(3) Å, α = 95.42(2)°, β = 102.18(5)°, γ = 109.74(3)°, Z = 1. Crystal data for isomer 2: triclinic, P1̄, a = 8.165(1) Å, b = 9.918(3) Å, c = 13.278(3) Å, α = 83.91(2)°, β = 78.31(2)°, γ = 79.22(2)°, Z = 1. Both isomers show the same copper environment and oxidation states in the TCNQ molecules, and the only difference is observed in the stacking of the latter groups. The main common feature is the presence of parallel chains of copper macrocycle units linked by dimeric (TCNQ)22-, which coordinates to the metal. These chains are joined in isomer 1 by one neutral TCNQ molecule oriented parallel to the anionic TCNQ dimers and overlapping with two of them creating a bidimensional network. In contrast, the neutral TCNQ in isomer 2 is rotated about 70° relative to the anionic dimers and overlaps with four different chains, extending the interaction in a tridimensional way. The spectral and solid state conductivity data show electronic localization on the dimers (TCNQ)22- in both isomers with a weak semiconducting behavior. The magnetic behavior of both isomers can be interpreted as the sum of contributions from the metal and a thermally activated triplet state for the dimerized anions. The latter contribution is favored by the π overlap of the neutral TCNQ molecules, since the analogous derivative [Cu(cyclam)(TCNQ)2], only with anionic dimers, shows a strong antiferromagnetic coupling inside the dimers and no appreciable contribution to the bulk magnetic susceptibility is observed.

The reaction occurs with the formation of the cis isomer, except for the complex with PMe*Ph that gives rise to the tram isomer as the crystal structure shows. The effect of the different phosphines on the ruthenium complex is analysed in terms of the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the isolated compounds. The cyclic voltammetric studies of the ci, Gomplexes show that isomerization to the tram isomer occurs on oxidation. This isomerization is not observed in the trans-[Ru(S,S),(PMe,Ph),] complexes that give rise to stable trans-ruthenium(II)/ruthenium(III) couples. In a similar way the diphosphine complexes afford a quasi-reversible cis-ruthenium(II)/ruthenium(III) process.

This compound was characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic methods - IR. UV-Vis, EPR, magnetochemistry and ESCA. The results indicate that the formula of this complex is Pd2(TCNQ)3(OH)2, (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane). The ligand TCNQ may exist in two different modes - as radical-anion TCNQ· and

The crystal structures of [M(terpy) 2 ](TCNQ) 2 (M = Ni, Cu) show that the metal is surrounded by the terpyridine nitrogen atoms in a closed octahedral environment and the TCNQ anions are dimerised by π overlap. The cationic [M(terpy) 2 ] 2+ and the anionic [TCNQ] 2 2− groups alternate in the crystal. For the derivatives with three TCNQ groups, the existence of a stack of trimeric [TCNQ] 3 2− ions having electronic delocalisation is

We have reported the reactions of Ni[P(OEt)3]4 with mercury(II) halides or pseudohalides which readily proceed with formation of Ni(II) complexes and deposition of metallic mercury. The nitrosyl

In its radical anion form, this molecule tends to form dimeric dianions (TCNQ)22− by overlapping of the π cloud with a neighboring radical. When the metal has a stable

In the former the TCNQ units are dimerized by π overlap, except in [Fe(phen) 3 ](TCNQ-TCNQ) whose crystal structure shows the formation of a a dimer. The derivatives with four TCNQ per metal atom are good semiconductors and their magnetic behavior is typical of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chains of S= 2 spins, localized on (TCNQ) 2 - units, and it could be fitted according to a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet model..

The [Ni(S,N)d complexes (S,N = 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thionato, tzdt, 1,3-thiazoline-Zthionato, tzt, ... more The [Ni(S,N)d complexes (S,N = 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thionato, tzdt, 1,3-thiazoline-Zthionato, tzt, and 2-mercaptobenzothiazolato, mbt) have been obtained in good yield by direct electrochemical oxidation of nickel in the presence of the corresponding ligand. The [Ni(tzdt)J and [Ni(mbt)J derivatives react with nitrogen donor bases to give the adducts [Ni(S,N),(L)J (L = substituted pyridines and primary amines) and [Ni(S,N),L] (L = bpy, phen, dmp) also obtained by direct electrochemical synthesis. A crystal structure analysis shows that in [Ni(mbt)2(dmp)] the hexacoordinated environment of the nickel atom is formed by two bidentate mbt ligands and one dmp ligand.
