Aj. Amoroso et al., MAGNETIC SPIN-EXCHANGE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SEVERAL METAL CENTERS IN PARAMAGNETIC-COMPLEXES WITH NEW POLYNUCLEATING BRIDGING LIGANDS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (10), 1994, pp. 1273-1275
The polynucleating bridging ligands L(1) and H(3)L(2) were simply prep
ared via a Heck coupling of 4-vinylpyridine or 4-methoxystyrene with 1
,3,5-tribromobenzene; in the trinuclear complexes of L(1) and L(2) wit
h a paramagnetic (Mo(NO)(BH(C(3)HN(2)Me(2)-3,5)(3))Cl) moiety [BH(C(3)
HN(2)Me(2)-3,5)(3) = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) hydroborate] at ea
ch binding site the EPR spectra demonstrate that all three unpaired el
ectrons are in 'fast exchange' between all three metal centres
