Resumo
Systems capable of switching between two or more different electronic states as a result of external stimuli are of great interest for the development of materials with specific properties that can be used in the construction of molecular electronic devices. In this context, bistable compounds that exhibit valence tautomerism (VT) – a reversible intramolecular electron transfer phenomenon – stand out. Among these compounds, cobalt o-dioxolene derivatives have been widely investigated, where electron transfer occurs from the catecholate ligand to the low-spin cobalt(III) ion, forming a high-spin cobalt(II) ion coordinated to a paramagnetic semiquinonate ligand. In light of this, the objective of this research was to synthesize new dinuclear cobalt compounds containing tetradentate nitrogenous ligands, such as N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (py2en), N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3 diaminopropane (1,3-py2pn), and N,N’-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-iaminopropane (1,2py2pn) in order to investigate the VT phenomenon. To this end, in addition to the tetradentate nitrogenous ligands, redox-active ligands 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4 benzoquinone (DHBQH2) and 3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spiro-bis-indane-5,5',6,6' tetrol (spiroH4) were also used. The nitrogenous ligands py2en, 1,3-py2pn, 1,2-py2pn, and the redox-active ligand DHBQH2 were synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The synthesis and characterization of two compounds with nitrogenous ligands (1,3-py2pn or py2en) and the DHBQH2 ligand revealed, through IR and X-ray diffraction analyses, the formation of mononuclear cobalt(III) systems, [Co(DHBQ)(1,3-py2pn)]PF6 and [Co(DHBQ)(py2en)]BF4, instead of the proposed dinuclear compound. For the compounds synthesized from the spiroH4 ligand, characterization by IR, UV-vis, electrical conductivity, and X-ray diffraction on single crystal samples indicated the formation of the suggested dinuclear systems. In addition to the intended compounds, two new cobalt compounds were synthesized and characterized: [Co(bpy)(1,3-py2pn)](BF4)3 and [Co(phen)3](NO3)2·2H2O. Finally, the synthesis of new cobalt-o-dioxolene systems in this study offers a significant contribution to future studies of the VT phenomenon, standing out as promising models to investigate VT in both mononuclear and dinuclear compounds.
