Abstract:
The synthesis, spectroscopy, and redox-reactivity towards PPh(3) of bis(3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone 1-oximato)manganese(II), Mn(ox)(2), and its mixed-ligand complexes, Mn(ox)L(x) [L(x)=8-hydroxyquinolinato (L(1)), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) (L(2)), 1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) (L(3)) and N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-di-t-butylsalicylaldiminato (L(4))] complexes, are presented. While some complexes exhibit solid-state ESR spectra they were ESR-silent in toluene or CHCl(3) at 300 K. The reduction of all ESR-silent complexes with an excess of PPh(3), independently from the nature of secondary L(x) ligands, results in the appearance of a six-line hyperfine coupling of 55Mn (I=5/2) (A(Mn)=95-100 G) and a seven-line radical signal, which was assigned to phosphiniminophenoxyl type radicals (g=2.0056-2.0075, A(P)=8. 5 G and A(N)=1.875 G).

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
