Abstract

Abstract Radical Labeled M etallocenes (M = Fe, Co). M etallocenylene B ridged B is(3-im idazolin-l-oxyls) The addition of the lithium salt of the silyl protected hydroxylamine 1-hydroxy-2,2,4,5,5-pentamethyl-3-imidazoline (1) to 6 ,6 -dimethylfulvalene gives the lithium cyclopentadienide 2 from which the 1,1 '-substituted ferrocene and cobaltocinium derivatives 3 and 4 were obtained. Deprotection and oxidation of 3 and 4 afford the metallocenylene bridged bis(3-imidazolin-l-oxyls) 5 and 7. The ferrocene bridged diradical 5 forms with DDQ a charge transfer complex 8 . The complexes 5 and 7 were characterized by X-ray diffraction and by their EPR spectra. Magnetic measurements show at room temperature two independent spins for 5 and 7 and four unpaired electrons for 8 , the latter arising from three different sources [Fe(III) low spin d5, two nitroxides and DDQ- radical anion].
