Molecular materials of transition metal ions and organic acceptors of the general formula M(TCNX)2 M=V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni; X=Q=7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, E=tetracyanoethylene, are known to exhibit magnetic ordering resulting from magnetic interactions between the 3d metal orbitals of the paramagnetic metal ion and pi* orbitals of the organic radical spin centers. The reaction of THF solutions of UI3(THF)4 with neutral TCNQ and TCNE instantaneously produce insoluble coordination polymers that can be assigned a formula of [U(TCNX)2I2(THF)2]n on the basis of elemental analysis. Similar reactions between (K-18-crown-6)(TCNX) reagents and UI3(THF)4 produce materials with slightly different phase compositions that are structurally distinct from the neutral TCNQ and TCNE reaction products, as judged by infrared spectroscopy. In all cases the magnetic response of these materials is consistent with the presence of the U(IV) rather than U(III) ion. Voltammetric data obtained for all the synthetic precursors are consistent with the U(IV)/TCNX radical anion formulation. None of the materials undergo magnetic ordering, presumably due to the singlet magnetic ground state that results from the U(IV) ion in a low-symmetry ligand field.
