Dinuclear copper(II) complexes as testing ground for molecular magnetism theory
2019
Abstract A leitmotiv in the field of molecular magnetism is the study of the electron exchange (EE) magnetic interactions among distant metal centers through the corresponding bridging ligands in polynuclear coordination compounds. The present review provides a historical perspective on the use of dinuclear copper(II) complexes with either simple inorganic or extended organic bridging ligands as experimental and theoretical models for the fundamental research on the relative importance of the spin delocalization and spin polarization mechanisms of the EE interaction across σ- and π-type orbital pathways. Particular focus is placed on the work by Professor Miguel Julve, outstanding researche…
Very fast singlet and triplet energy transfers in a tri-chromophoric porphyrin dyad aided by the truxene platform
2015
A trichromophoric dyad composed of an octa-β-alkyl-palladium(II)porphyrin (donor) and two tri-meso-aryl-zinc(II)porphyrins (acceptors) held by a truxene spacer exhibits very fast rates for triplet energy transfers at 77 (kET(T1) = 1.63 × 108 s-1) and 298 K (kET(T1) = 3.44 × 108 s-1), whereas the corresponding singlet energy transfer rates, kET(S1) = 3.9 × 1010 s-1 (77 K) and kET(S1) = 6.0 × 1010 s-1 (298 K), are also considered fast. The interpretation for these results is that the energy transfer processes proceed via a through bond Dexter mechanism (i.e. double electron exchange) supported by comparison with literature data and evidence for a moderate MO coupling between the donor and ac…
