Synthesis and Electronic Structure of a Tetraazanaphthalene Radical-Bridged Yttrium Complex.

ABSTRACT: Taming radical anions with highly electropositive metal ions poses a grand synthetic challenge owing to the high reactivity of such compounds originating from the unpaired electron. A successful synthetic metal radical match elicits a desire to thoroughly understand the electronic structure of a given metal radical pairing, which may inform about the potential physical properties pertaining to spintronics and magnetism relevant for future technologies. Here, the 1,4,5,8-tetraazanaphthalene (tan) ligand was utilized in the synthesis of (Cp*₂Y)₂(μ-tan), 1, using the doubly reduced version K₂tan and Cp*₂Y-(BPh₄) following a salt metathesis reaction. Chemical oxidation of 1 yielded [(Cp*₂Y)₂(μ-tan^•<
