From paddlewheel starting reactants Ru(R'CO), a family of edge-sharing bi-octahedral (ESBO) diruthenium(III,III) compounds has been prepared, formulated as Ru(μ-OCR')(μ-OR)(η-L) (1-10) [R' = CH, R = CH, L = acac (1), tfac (2); R' = CH, R = CHCH, L = hfac (3); R' = CHCH, R = CH, L = acac (4), tfac (5); R' = CHCH, R = CHCH, L = hfac (6); R' = CHCl, R = CH, L = tfac (7); R' = CHCl, R = CHCH, L = hfac (8); R' = CH, R = CH, L = tfac (9); and R' = H, R = CH, L = acac (10); here, acac, tfac and hfac represent acetylacetone, trifluoroacetylacetone and hexafluoroacetylacetone, respectively]. Compounds 1-10 have a similar ESBO coordination geometry of the Ru(μ-OCR')(μ-OR)Ru core with a Ru-Ru center chelated and bridged by two μ-OCR' and two μ-OR in a manner, and each Ru center is also coordinated with a η-L bidentate ligand. The Ru-Ru distances fall in the range of 2.4560(9)-2.4771(4) Å. The investigation of the electronic spectra and vibrational frequencies as well as theoretical studies with density functional theory (DFT) reveal that compounds 1-10 are ESBO bimetallic species of d-d valence electron counts showing a σπδδ*π* electronic configuration. Varying -CH to -CF groups on the η-L bidentate ligands coordinating to the Ru(μ-OCR')(μ-OR)Ru core, and according to Raman spectrum measurements combined with theoretical calculations, the intense bands of compounds 1-10 appearing at ∼345 cm in the small-wavenumber region can be assigned to the stretching of the Ru-Ru single bond.

Direct fabrication of pure metallic nanostructures is one of the main aims of focused electron beam-induced deposition (FEBID). It was recently achieved for gold deposits by the co-injection of a water precursor and the gold precursor Au(tfac)Me. In this work results are reported, using the same approach, on a different gold precursor, Au(acac)Me, as well as the frequently used platinum precursor MeCpPtMe.

Partially fluorinated β-diketonate complexes M(tfac)(TMEDA) (M = Fe 1, Ni 2, Cu 3, Zn 4; tfac = 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedionate; TMEDA = ,,','-tetramethylethylenediamine) were synthesized and structurally (sc-XRD) and thermochemically (TGA) characterised. A new polymorph of Fe(tfac)(TMEDA) was found. The structural and physicochemical properties of 1-4 were compared with related M(acac)(TMEDA) and M(hfac)(TMEDA) (acac = 2,4-pentanedionate, hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionate) β-diketonate complexes to evaluate the effect of the degree of fluorination.

Significantly Enhancing the Single-Molecule-Magnet Performance of a Dinuclear Dy(III) Complex by Utilizing an Asymmetric Auxiliary Organic Ligand.

Inorg Chem

December 2021

Jiangsu Key Laboratory for NSLSCS, School of Physical Science and Technology, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, People's Republic of China.

In this work, we employed an asymmetric auxiliary organic ligand (1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone, Htfac) to further regulate the magnetic relaxation behavior of series of Dy single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with a 1,3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (HL) ligand. Fortunately, an air-stable Dy complex, [Dy(L)(tfac)] (; Htfac = 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetone) was obtained at room temperature. A structural analysis indicated that some Dy-O or Dy-N bond lengths for are not in the range of those for the complexes [Dy(L)(acac)]·2CHCl (; Hacac = acetylacetone) and [Dy(L)(hfac)] (; Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone), although the electron-withdrawing ability of tfac is stronger than that of acac but weaker than that of hfac.
