Abstract

The radical complexes (μ-L)Ru(bpy)22.bul.3+, (μ-bmtz)Ru(cym)Cl2.bul.+ and (μ-L)Re(CO)3Cl2.bul.-, where L are 3,6-disubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazines such as 3,6-bis(2-pyrimidyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bmtz) and p-cymene (cym), were studied by X-band EPR in fluid soln. and by 285 GHz EPR in glassy frozen soln. A comparison with other transition metal complexes (Cu, Rh, Os, Ir, Pt) involving tetrazine radical ligands reveals that the g anisotropy reflects (i) the p acceptor effect of the tetrazine substituents, (ii) the competition from ancillary p acceptor ligands for back donation from the metal, and (iii) the spin-orbit coupling contributions from the transition metal. on SciFinder(R)
