Abstract
The reaction of [FeII(L•)2][BF4]2 with LiTCNQF4 results in the formation of [FeII(L•)2][TCNQF4•−]2·2CH3CN (1) (L• is the neutral aminoxyl radical ligand 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-di(2-pyridyl)oxazolidine-N-oxide; TCNQF4 is 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction; Raman, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopies; and electrochemical studies are all consistent with the presence of a low-spin FeII ion, the neutral radical form (L•) of the ligand, and the radical anion TCNQF4•−. 1 is largely diamagnetic and the electrochemistry shows five well-resolved, diffusion-controlled, reversible one-electron processes.
