Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Magnetic Exchange in Silole-Bridged Diradicals.

2006

International audience; Five bis(tert-butylnitroxide) diradicals connected by a silole [2,5-R2-3,4-diphenylsilole; R = Me3CN(®O.bul.)Z; Z = p-C6H4 (7a), p-C6H4C6H4-p (7b), 1,4-naphthalenediyl (7c), m-C6H4 (7d)] or a thiophene [2,5-R2-thiophene; R = p-Me3CN(®O.bul.)C6H4 (12)] ring as a coupler were studied. Compd. 12 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with a 20.752(5), b 5.826(5), and c 34.309(5) .ANG.. X-ray crystal structure detn., electronic spectroscopy, variable-temp. EPR spectroscopy, SQUID measurements and DFT computations (UB3LYP/6-31+G*) were used to study the mol. conformations and electronic spin coupling in this series of mols. Whereas compds. 7b, 7c, and 7d are q…
