The synthesis of the following mixed ligand complexes is reported: [Ni(phdtc)2(dpm)2], [Ni(phdtc)2(dpe)2], [Ni(phdtc)2(dpp)3], [Ni(1-naphdtc)2(dpm)2], [Ni(1-naphdtc)2], and [Ni(1-naphdtc)2(dpp)2], where phdtc = PhNHCSS-, 1-naphdtc = 1-NaPhNHCSS-, dpm = Ph2PCH2PPh2, dpe = Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2, and dpp = Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2. The complexes are characterised by microanalysis, IR and UV-Vis spectra, magnetic measurements, conductivity, X-ray powder diffraction, and thermal analysis. All the mixed ligand complexes are diamagnetic, and thus a square-planar or square-pyramidal (low-spin) structure was proposed for the present complexes.

ABSTRACT: The influence of a redox-active ligand on spin changing events induced by coordination of exogenous donors is investigated within the cobalt complex <b>[Co<sup>II</sup>(DPP<sup>•2‒</sup>)]</b>, bearing a redox-active <b>DPP<sup>2‒</sup></b> ligand (DPP = dipyrrin-bis-(<i>o,p</i>-di-tert-butylphenolato) with a pentafluorophenyl moiety on the meso-position. This square planar complex was subjected to coordination of THF, pyridine, tBuNH<sub>2</sub> and AdNH<sub>2</sub> (Ad = 1‑adamantyl), and the resulting complexes were analyzed with a variety of experimental (XRD, NMR, UV-Vis, HRMS, SQUID, Evans’ method) and computational (DFT, NEVPT2-CASSCF) techniques to elucidate the respective structures, spin states and orbital compositions of the corresponding octahedral bis-donor adducts, relative to <b>[Co<sup>II</sup>(DPP<sup>•2‒</sup>)]</b>. This starting species is best described as an open-shell singlet complex containing a <b>DPP<sup>•2‒</sup></b> ligand radical that is antiferromagnetically coupled to a low-spin (S = ½) cobalt(II) center. The redox-active <b>DPP<sup>n‒</sup></b> ligand plays a crucial role in stabilizing this complex, and in its facile conversion to the triplet THF-adduct <b>[Co<sup>II</sup>(DPP<sup>•2‒</sup>)(THF)<sub>2</sub>]</b> and closed-shell singlet pyridine and amine adducts <b>[Co<sup>III</sup>(DPP<sup>3‒</sup>)(L)<sub>2</sub>]</b> (L = py, tBuNH<sub>2</sub> or AdNH<sub>2</sub>). Coordination of the weak donor THF to <b>[Co<sup>II</sup>(DPP<sup>•2-</sup>)]</b> changes the orbital overlap between the <b>DPP<sup>•2‒</sup></b> ligand radical π-orbitals and the cobalt(II) metalloradical d-orbitals, which results in a spin-flip to the triplet ground state without changing the oxidation states of the metal or <b>DPP<sup>•2‒</sup></b> ligand. In contrast, coordination of the stronger donors pyridine, tBuNH<sub>2</sub> or AdNH<sub>2</sub> induces metal-to-ligand single-electron transfer, resulting in formation of low-spin (S = 0) cobalt(III)-complexes <b>[Co<sup>III</sup>(DPP<sup>3‒</sup>)(L)<sub>2</sub>]</b> containing a fully reduced <b>DPP<sup>3‒</sup></b> ligand, thus explaining their closed-shell singlet electronic ground states.

The active materials of organic solar cells are widely recognized to show closed-shell singlet ground state and their electron spin resonance signals are attributed to the defects and impurities. Herein, we disclose the inherent open-shell singlet ground state of donors and the closed-shell structure of acceptors via the combination of variable temperature NMR, electron spin resonance, superconducting quantum interference device and theoretical calculation, providing a new perspective to understand the intrinsic molecular structure in organic solar cells.

Abstract. The Delft Flood Early Warning System provides a versatile framework for real-time flood forecasting. The UK Environment Agency has adopted the Delft framework to deliver its National Flood Forecasting System. The Delft system incorporates new flood forecasting models very easily using an "open shell" framework. This paper describes how we added the data-based mechanistic modelling approach to the model inventory and presents a case study for the Eden catchment (Cumbria, UK).
