Direct Observation of the Transition from Static to Dynamic Jahn–Teller Effects in the [Cs(THF)4]C60 Fulleride

Abstract: Distorted order: The synthesis and X‐ray crystallographic analysis of single crystals of [Cs(THF)4]C60 are reported. The data obtained provide structural information sufficient to prove a Jahn–Teller distortion in the C60 anion radical. For the first time the transition from static to dynamic Jahn–Teller effects in fullerides has been observed directly by X‐ray analysis and corroborated by magnetic measurements and EPR experiments.

“…At ambient temperature the corresponding fine structure in the EPR spectrum is not resolved owing to fast rotation of the C 60 molecules. An analogous behavior has most recently been reported for C 60 – fulleride anions, which has been ascribed to a transition from static to dynamic Jahn–Teller effect 21. The small admixture of a C 60 3– anion with S = 1/2 can tentatively be ascribed to a hopping mechanism of electrons from the fulleride anion to the cation matrix or an impurity of a C 60 3– salt 8.…”

“…Jahn-Teller distortion in fullerides is relatively small, but can in some cases be observable by structural studies. 13,32 We did, however, observe that the two carbon centres that terminally coordinate the Mg centres are signicantly more pyramidalized, slightly protrude from the fulleride "sphere" and show C/C 60-centroid distances that are 0.09-0.10Å longer than the mean from the remaining 58 distances. Also, the fulleride C-C bond lengths in 3b 0 cannot be analysed due to poor ordering and low bond precision.…”

“…Vibrational analyses were performed to verify that the optimized structures are local minima. For anionic species, the polarizable continuum model was incorporated by considering a conductor‐like screening model treatment via the COSMO module with tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent, to take into account the effects of polar solvents usually employed in such compounds …”
