The tetranuclear neutral species [CrIII4(μ3-O)2(μ2-CH3CO2)7(tbpy0)(tbpy•)]0·3THF has been prepared from a mixture of [CrII2(μ2-CH3CO2)4]·2H2O and 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine (1:2) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) under anaerobic conditions. Black crystals of [CrIII4(μ-O)2(μ-CH3CO2)7(tbpy)2]0 were grown and investigated by X-ray crystallography: a [Cr4O2]8+ butterfly core structure has been identified. In addition, the presence of seven μ2-acetate bridges, a neutral (tbpy0) ligand, and a single π-radical anion (tbpy•)1– have been clearly identified. The magnetic properties have been investigated by solid-state SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) measurements (2–300 K) and a coupling model is presented. Its X-band electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum has been recorded at 10 and 300 K in toluene solution and successfully simulated. The spin of the (tbpy•)1– radical couples strongly antiferromagnetically to one Cr(III) center (J4 = –129 cm−1). These properties are compared with those reported previously for the monocationic species [CrIII4(μ3-O)2(μ2-CH3CO2)7(bpy0)2](PF6) in Bino et al. (Inorg. Chem. 1991, 30, 856).

Epr Experiments

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy on protein single crystals is the ultimate method for determining the electronic structure of paramagnetic intermediates at the active site of an enzyme and relating the magnetic tensor to a molecular structure. However, crystals of dimensions typical for protein crystallography (0.05 to 0.3mm) provide insufficient signal intensity. In this work, we present a microwave self-resonant microhelix for nanoliter samples that can be implemented in a commercial X-band (9.5 GHz) EPR spectrometer. The self-resonant microhelix provides a measured signal-to-noise improvement up to a factor of 28 with respect to commercial EPR resonators. This work opens up the possibility to use advanced EPR techniques for studying protein single crystals of dimensions typical for x-ray crystallography. The technique is demonstrated by EPR experiments on single crystal [FeFe]-hydrogenase (Clostridium pasteurianum; CpI) with dimensions of 0.3 mm by 0.1 mm by 0.1 mm, yielding a proposed g-tensor orientation of the Hox state.

Mononuclear Pd(I) species are putative intermediates in Pd-catalyzed reactions, but our knowledge about them is limited due to difficulties in accessing them. Herein, we report the isolation of a Pd(I) amido complex, [(BINAP)Pd(NHArTrip )] (BINAP = 2,2′- bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene, ArTrip = 2,6-bis(2’,4’,6’-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl), from the reaction of (BINAP)PdCl2 with LiNHArTrip. This Pd(I) amido species has been characterized by X-ray crystallography, electron paramagnetic resonance, and multi-edge Pd Xray absorption spectroscopy. Theoretical study revealed that, while the 3-electron-2-center π interaction between Pd and N in the Pd(I) complex imposes severe Pauli repulsion in its Pd–N bond, pronounced attractive inter-ligand dispersion force aids its stabilization. In accord with its electronic features, reactions of homolytic Pd–N bond cleavage and deprotonation of primary amines are observed on the Pd(I) amido complex.

A new dinuclear Cu(ii) complex [Cu2Cl4(L1)2] (1) (L1 = 1-(2-picolyl)-4-hexyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole) has been synthesised and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and powder XRD, thermogravimetric analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, photoluminescence, and magnetic measurements. Complex 1 shows double 1,2,3-triazoles bridging the dinuclear Cu2N4 moiety, in which the bridging N=N bond indicates basal-apical asymmetric mode with 112.6° torsion angle of Cu–N=N–Cu. Different from most azole-bridged dinuclear Cu(ii) with antiferromagnetic couplings, complex 1 shows an intramolecular weak ferromagnetic interaction (J = 0.91 cm–1).

The paramagnetic resonance spectrum of the Ti3+ ion in cubic RbAl(SO4)2 ∙ 12H2O single crystals has been studied in the {100} and {110} planes at 4.2 °K with an X-band microwave spectrometer. The spectrum, which consists of a maximum of 12 lines, has been explained by considering a model of 12 magnetic complexes which are related to each other through the symmetry elements of the Th = (2/m)3 point group of the Rb alum lattice. For the spin Hamiltonian with [Formula: see text], three g factors have been determined—1.895, 1.715, and 1.767— within an accuracy of ±0.002, indicating the existence of a crystal electric field of orthorhombic symmetry.
