The singlet-triplet splitting energy gap ΔEs-T= Es - ET is calculated for the ortho-, meta-, and para-xylylenes and their heteroatomic analogous by means of AM1-CI approach. It is shownthat when the radical centers R(R=H2C- ,H2N+- or HN’- ) are twisted sufficiently far out ofconjugation with the benzene ring, ΔEs-T tends to zero or is negative, i.e. ortho-, meta-, and para-phenylenes turn into weak ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling unit, while they are strong ferromagnetic (meta-isomers) or antiferromagnetic (ortho-, para-isomers) coupling units under planar conformation. It is suggested that serious twisted conformation is not recommended candidate for the design of novel high-spin molecules with stable high-spin ground states by ortho-or para-phenylene coupling unit.
The singlet-triplet splitting energy gap ΔES-T=ES-ET is calculated for the ortho-, meta-, and para-xylylenes and their heteroatomic analogous by means of AM1-CI approach. It is shown that when the radical centers $R^. (R^. = H_2 C^. - ,H_2 N^{. + } - or HN^. - )$ are twisted sufficiently far out of conjugation with the benzene ring, ΔES-T tends to zero or is negative, i.e. ortho-, meta-, and para-phenylenes turn into weak ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling unit, while they are strong ferromagnetic (meta-isomers) or antiferromagnetic (ortho-, para-isomers) coupling units under planar conformation. It is suggested that serious twisted conformation is not recommended candidate for the design of novel high-spin molecules with stable high-spin ground states by ortho- or para-phenylene coupling unit.
