Electron Dynamics in a Ferrocene-Based Mixed-Valence Compound — •Nicolas Yeche1, Lucas Mäde1, Alexander Hildebrandt2, Ulrike Pfaff2, Simon Liebing3, Marco Günther1, Heinrich Lang2, Jens Kortus3, and Hans-Henning Klauss1 — 1TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany — 2TU Chemnitz, Chemnitz, Germany — 3TU Freiberg, Freiberg, Germany
Mixed-valence compounds are metal-organic molecules in which the metal centres, a priori identical, are in different oxidation states. These compounds usually stabilize through a strong electron delocalization between the various metallic atoms. Thanks to Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements, we followed the charge dynamics in the monocationic form of 2,5-Diferrocenyl,1-Phenyl-1H-Pyrrole. There, two a priori symmetrical ferrocene moieties contain one Fe(III) and one Fe(II).
We present results obtained from the solid state as well as in dispersed molecules in a tetrahydrofurane glass. From the fluctuation of the electric field gradient (EFG) at the iron nuclei sites we follow the charge fluctuation rate from room temperature down to 4.2K. Results on the average EFG are then compared with DFT calculations.
