Abstract
- Charge transfer always occurs in molecular valence tautomers, leading to the redistribution of electron density and exhibiting electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, and can be further controlled by multiple external stimuli such as temperature, light and electric field. The design of molecule-based materials capable of charge transfer remains a challenge. Herein, a linear Cu<subscript>3</subscript> compound [(CH<subscript>3</subscript>)<subscript>3</subscript>NCH<subscript>2</subscript>CH<subscript>2</subscript>Br]<subscript>2</subscript>[Cu<subscript>3</subscript>L<subscript>4</subscript>(H<subscript>2</subscript>O)<subscript>2</subscript>] (H<subscript>2</subscript>L = chloranilic acid) (1) with a multi-center donor–acceptor architecture was constructed using the redox-active chloranilic acid quinoid ligand. Temperature-dependent dielectric measurement was performed to capture the charge transfer valence tautomer transition because it is difficult to detect this transition by crystal structure and magnetism analysis. Temperature-dependent XPS and EPR further confirmed that the charge transfer valence tautomer transition is based on the Cu<superscript>II</superscript>–L<superscript>2−</superscript> to Cu<superscript>I</superscript>–L<superscript>−</superscript>˙ multi-center charge transfer. Thus, the present work builds a charge transfer compound with a multi-center donor–acceptor architecture and proves that dielectric measurement is a very effective means to detect charge transfer.
