Abstract
A density functional theory (DFT) study of {CoNO}[superscript 8] cobalt nitrosyl complexes containing the [n,n]tropocoronand ligand (TC-n,n) has revealed a sharp reduction of singlet–triplet gaps as the structures change from near-square-pyramidal (for n = 3) to trigonal-bipyramidal with an equatorial NO (for n = 5, 6). An experimental reinvestigation of [Co(TC-3,3)(NO)] has confirmed that it is not paramagnetic, as originally reported, but diamagnetic, like all other {CoNO}[superscript 8] complexes. Furthermore, DFT calculations indicate a substantial singlet–triplet gap of about half an eV or higher for this complex. At the other end of the series, low-energy, thermally accessible triplet states are predicted for [Co(TC-6,6)(NO)]. Enhanced triplet-state reactivity may well provide a partial explanation for the failure to isolate this compound as a stable species.
