Abstract
The syntheses of two triarylamine derivatives featuring one and three electron-rich Fe(II) "(η 2-dppe)(η 5-C 5Me 5)FeC≡C-" pendant substituents in para position(s) on the aryl rings (1, 2) is reported, along with those of their corresponding radical tri- and monocations (1 3+, 2 +). The former species (1 3+) constitutes a new organometallic triradical. The magnetic interactions between the Fe(III) units in this novel trication were investigated by NMR and SQUID. Its ground spin state was shown to be a doublet, with a "mean" antiferromagnetic coupling constant of J ≈ -14 cm -1 between the unpaired spins, from consideration of the classic Hamiltonian for a symmetric C 3v triradical: H = -2J(S a•S b + S b•S c + S c•S a).
