Spin-vibronic superexchange in Mott-Hubbard fullerides
1Department of Chemistry, University of Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200F, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium.
Abstract:
In the Mott-Hubbard cubic fulleride Li3(NH3)6C60 the superexchange energy is found to be much smaller than the rotational quantum for Jahn-Teller deformations at fullerene sites. This gives rise to a new type of superexchange interaction involving threefold degenerate vibronic ground states of C3-60 ions. In contrast with spin-orbital models, the spin-vibronic superexchange can be only antiferromagnetic and shows a significant vibronic reduction of the superexchange amplitude, in agreement with magnetic susceptibility data. As a function of the transfer parameters, two quadrupolar fully dynamical vibronic orders with quenched vibronic moments on sites develop in the ground state.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
