Abstract
The one-electron reduction of indeno[2,1-a]fluorene-11,12-dione (IF) with various alkali metals prepare the radical anion salts. The data about different structures, properties, and characterization was obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements, and physical property measurement system (PPMS). Compound IF.- K+ (18-c-6) is regarded as a one-dimensional magnetic chain through C-H⋅⋅⋅C interaction. Theoretical calculations and magnetic results showed that [IF.- K+ (15-c-5)]2 is a dimer with an open-shell ground state. Compounds IF.- Na+ (15-c-5) and IF.- K+ (cryptand) are monoradical anion salts: IF2 .- Li+ possesses unique π-stack structure with an interplanar separation less than 3.46 Å, making it a semiconductor (δRT =1.9×10-4 S ⋅ cm-1 ). This work gives insights into multifunctional radical anions, and describes the design and development of different functional radicals.
