Hydride Complexes of Ru with Carborane Ligands Co(III), Cu(I) formulation would expect a yellow, diamagnetic product similar to the Cu(fdpp)I material.The UV-visible spectra, Table IV, demonstrate the electronic changes that have occurred in the (cdpp)+ fragment of the Cu(cdpp)Cl2. In the spectrum of Cu(cdpp)Cl2 there are no UV-visible absorptions which can clearly be attributed to the ligand [cdpp]+. In contrast the high-energy portion of the UV-visible spectrum for [Co(cdpp)Cl2]Cl matches the UV-visible spectrum of [cdpp]PF6 exactly.A more acceptable valence assignment is Con/Cun. This assignment accounts for the changes in the ligand part of the UV-visible spectrum and the paramagnetism of the compound.Since this material would have two paramagnetic centers, it could display magnetic concentration effects such as fielddependent paramagnetism. Nevertheless, magnetic concentration effects are complex, and more extensive study is needed before any realistic assignment can be made for this material.
