High oxidation state organometallics and their charge transfer materials

This research has been directed toward the systematic design and synthesis of highly oxidizing complexes. These complexes have been used as components in the molecular synthesis of solid state materials displaying cooperative electronic interactions. Complexes of the type CpVX$\sb3$ (Cp = $\eta\sp5$-C$\rm\sb5$H$\sb5$ or -$\rm C\sb5H\sb4$Me; X = Cl, Br) are highly oxidizing. The oxidation potential can be tuned by changes in the cyclopentadienyl ligand, halides, or with a strongly π-bonding oxide. Their electronic ground states were characterized.
