The reduction of flavanthrone is accompanied by elongation of the carbonyl 25 C=O bonds and shortening of the C-C(O) bonds. Reduction is manifested in optical spectra by essential (more than 200 26 nm) red shift of the intense band of pristine flavanthrone at 440 nm. A new intense band appears for the flavanthrone 27 radical anion at 960 nm in the NIR range but this band decreases in intensity for dianion salts 2 and 3. Salt 1 contains 28 flavanthrone chains of three types in which they are bonded by the C=O H hydrogen bonds of 2.26-2.53 Å length. 29 Although direct - interactions between flavanthrone (S = 1/2) are absent, hydrogen bonds between them provide 2 30 weak antiferromagnetic coupling of spins in the flavanthrone layers with Weiss temperature of -5 K. Flavanthrone 31 dianions are diamagnetic and EPR silent. Interaction of flavanthrone with two equivalents of vanadocene yields zwitter- + 2 32 ionic {(Cp2V )2(Flavanthrone )} 2C6H4Cl2 (4) complex bonded by short V-O(flavanthrone) bonds. These molecules are 2 33 packed in uniform stacks with effective - interaction between flavanthrone units (having the interplanar distance of III 2 34 3.38 Å). Paramagnetic V centers with S = 1 spin state are separated in 4 by diamagnetic flavanthrone dianions and show + 2 35 weak magnetic coupling with Weiss temperature of -5 K. Zwitter-ionic {(Cp2V )2(QCl4 )} complex (5) with smaller 2 36 diamagnetic chloranil spacer shows slightly stronger magnetic coupling with Weiss temperature of -7 K. Modeling of III 37 magnetic behavior of 4 and 5 by the appropriate van Vleck equation indicates stronger magnetic coupling between V in 5 -1 -1 38 (J = -3.3 cm ) in comparison with 4 (J = -2.0 cm ). 39 high conductivity at their appropriate packing in a crystal or 40 Introduction participate in magnetic coupling of spins.
