Nitronyl Nitroxide Radicals Linked to Exchange‐Coupled Metal Dimers – Studies Using X‐ray Crystallography, Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements, EPR Spectroscopy, and DFT Calculations
To study long-range magnetic interactions between exchange-coupled metal centers and a radical moiety coordinated through a peripheral group, three new homodimetallic complexes with MnII, CoII, and ZnII bridged by a nitronyl nitroxide (NIT) substituted benzoate ligand with the structure [(NIT-C6H4-COO)M2(LR)](ClO4)2 {M = MnII, CoII, and ZnII; NIT = nitronyl nitroxide and LR = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylalkyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane} have been prepared and studied by X-ray crystallography, magnetic susceptibility measurements, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. For comparison, related complexes with MnII and CoII bridged by a diamagnetic nitrobenzoate…
Long-Distance Magnetic Interaction of Exchange-Coupled Copper Dimers with Nitronyl Nitroxide and tert-Butyl Nitroxide Radicals
To study long-distance magnetic interactions between exchange-coupled metal centers and coordinated radical moieties, two new homodimetallic Cu(II) complexes held together by the chelating ligand L(nPr) = N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(N-propyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane and additionally bridged by either a nitronyl nitroxide (NIT) or a tert-butyl nitroxide (NOA) radical-substituted benzoate have been prepared. The complexes have been investigated by X-ray crystallography, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For comparison additionally the related copper dimer with the bridging di…
