| Shrnutí: | In coordination chemistry and materials science, terpyridine ligands are of great interest, due to their ability to form stable complexes with a broad range of transition metal ions. We report three terpyridine ligands containing different perfluorocarbon (PFC) tails on the backbone and the corresponding FeII and CoII complexes. The CoII complexes display spin crossover close to ambient temperature, and the nature of this spin transition is influenced by the length of the PFC tail on the ligand backbone. The electrochemical properties of the metal complexes were investigated with cyclic voltammetry revealing one oxidation and several reduction processes. The fluorine‐specific interactions were investigated by EPR measurements. Analysis of the EPR spectra of the complexes as microcrystalline powders and in solution reveals exchange‐narrowed spectra without resolved hyperfine splittings arising from the 59Co nucleus; this suggests complex aggregation in solution mediated by interactions of the PFC tails. Interestingly, addition of perfluoro‐octanol in different ratios to the acetonitrile solution of the sample resulted in the disruption of the F

F interactions of the tails. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation of fluorine‐specific interactions in metal complexes through EPR spectroscopy, as exemplified by exchange narrowing.
Iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with terpyridine ligands containing PFC tails are reported. All complexes are redox rich. The cobalt(II) complexes display spin crossover, and the magnetic properties in those cases are dependent on the length of the PFC tail. Fluorine‐specific interactions are observed between the PFC tails, and this effect translates into exchange narrowing of the corresponding EPR spectra of the cobalt complexes. |
