Abstract:
A new trimethyltetrathiafulvalene (Me3TTF) derivative Me3TTF-CH=CH-py bearing a pyridyl was synthesized and coordinated to a cobalt(II) benzoate dimer, having paddlewheel core structure, leading to a complex formulated as Co2(PhCOO)4(Me3TTF-CH=CH-py)2. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the complex performed at 293 and 100 K evidenced the existence of a weak metal-metal interaction. Magnetic studies revealed an antiferromagnetic behavior, which is explained as the result of the direct exchange between metal centers.
