A. Caneschi et al., Ferromagnetically coupled bis(semiquinone) ligand enforces high-spin ground states in bis-metal complexes, INORG CHEM, 40(2), 2001, pp. 408
The pi -connectivity of a bis(semiquinone) ligand enforces ferromagnetic co
upling between the two semiquinone halves of the molecule. Using the ligand
in connection with paramagnetic metal ions lends to complexes with S = 3 (
M = Ni-II), S = 2 (M = Cu-II), and S = 2 (M = Cr-III) ground states.
