Abstract:

The inverse sandwiches [M(AIP)](C5H5)[M'(AIP)](M, M'=V, Cr, Mn; AIP=dehydro-genated-1-amino-3-imino-prop-1-ene anion, C3N2 H 5 - ) were theoretically studied. The calculated results show that V-Cr system has the quintet, septet, and nonet multistable states; and Cr-Mn system has the triplet, quintet and septet multistable states. In these systems, the valence states of metal atoms vary with the spin states of isomers, the variable valence states of +1 and +2 could be observed in V, Cr and Mn atoms. Due to the low spin crossing barriers between some bistable states of V-Cr and Cr-Mn systems, the spin crossover and valence tautomerism become possible. Since [M(AIP)](C5H5)[M'(AIP)] not only performs the spin crossover and valence tautomerism, but also has the stability against dissociation, these molecules are potential candidate for molecular magnetic materials.
