ABSTRACT
An unprecedented stable neutral radical nickel(II) complex of 3,5-bis(dimedonyl)azadiisoindomethene (1) was prepared by the direct reaction between 1,3-diiminoisoindoline and dimedone. A new radical complex 1 has an intense and narrow absorption at 1008 nm and can be reduced to a less stable anionic [1]- with a typical aza(dibenzo)boron dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) UV-vis spectrum. Complex 1, along with two other colored condensation reaction products 2 and 3, was characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, while the paramagnetic nature of 1 was probed by EPR and SQUID methods. Complex 1 forms dimers in the solid state with short (â¼3.16 Å) Ni---Ni contacts. Redox data on 1 are indicative of a reversible reduction process in this complex; its magnetism suggests a S = 1/2 state with the spin density delocalized over the aza-BODIPY core. The experimental data 1 and [1]- were correlated with the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations.
