Effect of the Co–C(C60) bond formation on magnetic properties of the ionic complex {cryptand[2,2,2]·(Na+)}·{CoIITPP·(C60)}·(C6H4Cl2)2

Abstract

A new ionic complex {cryptand[2,2,2]·(Na+)}·{CoIITPP·(C60)}·(C6H4Cl2)2 has been obtained as single crystals by a diffusion technique. It involves coordination {CoIITPP·(C60)} units and bulky {cryptand[2,2,2]·(Na+)} cations. The Co–C(C60) coordination bond is short (2.262(2) Å at 100 K) which provides ordering in the C60 anions. This is the first ordered structure of {CoIITPP·(C60)}. The coordination bonds weaken upon heating to be 2.316(4) Å at 250 K. As a result, the C60 anions begin to rotate at 250 K about the Co–C bond between two orientations. The complex is diamagnetic from 4 up to 320 K. The Co–C bonds dissociate above 320 K only to form unbound paramagnetic CoIITPP and C60˙ species. The process is accompanied by the reversible increase in magnetic susceptibility of the complex and the appearance of a new broad EPR signal with g = 2.1187 and a linewidth of ∼120 mT (350 K). The signal was attributed to both paramagnetic CoIITPP and C60˙, which showed strong exchange interaction.
