Abstract
The quasi-one-dimensional chain [{PtRh(TCM)(2)(NH(3))(2)Cl(2.5)}(2){Pt(2)(PVM)(2)(NH(3))(4)}(2)](n)(PF(6))(6n).2nH(2)O (Chain-2; TCM = Cl(3)CCONH(-), PVM = (t)BuCONH(-)), which consists of Pt and Rh atoms, has been obtained from two dinuclear compounds, [Pt(2)(PVM)(2)(NH(3))(4)](PF(6))(2).H(2)O (1) and [PtRh(TCM)(2)(NH(3))(2)Cl(3)] (2). Single-crystal X-ray analysis showed that the dinuclear compounds stack with metal-metal bonds to form octameric units, Pt-Rh-Pt-Pt-Pt-Pt-Rh-Pt (Pt(6)Rh(2)), that are bridged by the Cl(-) ion to be a quasi-one-dimensional chain. Elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that Chain-2 has a mixed valency and one unpaired electron per octameric Pt(6)Rh(2) unit. Taking into account the small observed g(av) value (g(av) = 2.01 at room temperature) obtained by EPR measurement and B3LYP density functional theory calculations of the model complex, oxidation states of the octameric unit are postulated to be Pt(3+)-Rh(2.5+)-Pt(2+)-Pt(2+)-Pt(2+)-Pt(2+)-Rh(2.5+)-Pt(3+), where the EPR isotropic signal showed that the unpaired electron resides in the Rh d(xy) orbitals (delta* orbitals in Pt-Rh dinuclear parts) and hops from one Rh atom to another.
