J. Blumel et al., THE FERROMAGNETIC COUPLING MECHANISM IN METALLOCENIUM PI-ANION STACKSAS SEEN BY NMR-SPECTROSCOPY, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 232, 1993, pp. 513-519
The H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra of selected nickelocenium, chromocenium,
and ferrocenium ions are reported. The sign of the signal shifts estab
lishes positive or negative electron spin on the ligand for Ni or Cr s
andwiches, respectively. Hyperconjugative spin transfer to beta carbon
atoms of substituted ferrocenium ions is used to prove negative spin
on their ligands. For (Cp)Cr(arene) derivatives negative spin on the
ligand is indicated by characteristic shifts of the beta-proton signal
s. The results meet the requirements of the mechanism of Kahn and Koll
mar 5b,c for magnetic intra-stack interactions.
