Structural and Electronic Studies of Substituted m-Terphenyl Group 12 Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The effects of para-substitution on the structural and electronic properties of four series of two-coordinate m-terphenyl Group 12 complexes (R-Ar^#)₂M (M = Zn, Cd, Hg; R = t-Bu 1-3, SiMe₃ 4-6, Cl 7-9, CF₃ 10-12, where R-Ar^# = 2,6-{2,6-Xyl}₂-4-R-C₆H₂ and 2,6-Xyl = 2,6-Me₂C₆H₃) have been investigated. X-ray crystallography shows little structural variation across the series, with no significant change in the C-M-C bond distances and angles. However, considerable electronic differences are revealed by heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; a linear correlation is observed betw
