Theoretical calculation of the magnetic resonance parameters of trigonal-prismatic tris(o-aminobenzenethiol)technetium and -rhenium complexes.
Spin Hamiltonian parameters for the neutral trigonal-prismatic Tc(abt)(3) and Re(abt)(3) chelates (abt = o-aminobenzenethiol) are calculated using relativistic density functional theory at the all-electron level. The small magnitude of the calculated g shifts and metal hyperfine interactions is in excellent agreement with previous experimental predictions based upon a ligand-centered ground-state magnetic orbital. The theoretical (14)N ligand hyperfine and quadrupole couplings also reproduce the nuclear frequencies measured by electron spin-echo envelope modulation spectroscopy. The nuclear quadrupole interaction of (187)Re is predicted to be 2 orders of magnitude larger than that of (99)Tc, in agreement with empirical simulation of the continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum. The spectrum of Tc(abt)(3) at high solute concentrations contains a central resonance not predicted for the isolated complex by theoretical calculations. The absence of this resonance at low solute concentrations provides evidence of intermolecular interactions in these systems.
