Magnetic and EPR data suggest the occurrence of photoinduced Valence Tautomerism in a cobalt(III)-polydioxolene polymer. The 1D nature of the system results in a larger amount of cooperativity than previously observed in monomers. Analysis of kinetics data further suggest the existence of a relaxation mechanisms based on phonon assisted tunnelling.
A cobalt(III)-polydioxolene polymer undergoing valence tautomeric interconversion was irradiated at cryogenic temperatures. Magnetic and EPR data suggest the occurrence of photoinduced VT interconversion, with a maximum degree of about 10%. The kinetics data evidence a larger amount of cooperativity than previously observed in simple monomer, a phenomenon that we attribute to the 1D nature of the system. In the range 9–40
K the relaxation time follows two different regimes, both temperature dependent. The small values of the activation energies suggest the existence of phonon assisted relaxation mechanisms based on a tunneling process involving the totalsymmetric breathing mode of the complex.
