Quantum chemical study of binuclear adducts of cobalt azomethine complexes with pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraimine

摘要

AbstractA computer simulation of 2 : 1 adducts of cobalt azomethine complexes with pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraimine was carried out within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT B3LYP*/6-311++G(d,p)). It was shown that the variation of the substituents at the nitrogen atoms of cobalt bischelates, as well as the annulation of the five-membered ring to the azomethine fragment, considerably affects the relative energies of the isomers with different spin states. Compounds, which can manifest one- and two-step redox-isomeric rearrangements, accompanied by the migration of paramagnetic centers, were revealed.]]>
