Crystallography and magnetism of 2-amido-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyls

Two 2-Ar-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl radicals were synthesized (Ar = para-acetamidophenyl, and para-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)aminophenyl, pAPNN, pBPNN) that incorporate amide-type NH moieties as potential hydrogen bonding sites. Both form hydrogen bonded cyclic dyads, but pAPNN exhibits spin pairing (2J/k = (−)5 K) due to a close, antiparallel nitroxide-nitroxide stacking contact, while pBPNN is essentially paramagnetic.     

Copper(II) bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) complexes with 2-(2-methyltetrazolyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole 1-oxides

An efficient procedure was developed for the synthesis of alkyltetrazolyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxides (L ¹ and L ²). These compounds were used to prepare the first alkyltetrazolyl-substituted imino nitroxides (L ³ and L ⁴). The molecular structures of L ³ and L ⁴ were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Investigation of the products prepared by the reaction of copper(II) bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate), Cu(hfac)₂, with nitroxides made it possible to divide ligands L ¹—L ⁴ into two groups. The reactions of spin-labeled tetrazoles L ¹—L ³ with Cu(hfac)₂ afford the heterospin complexes Cu(hfac)₂L₂, whereas L ⁴ serves as a bidentate ligand in the Cu(hfac)₂ L ⁴ complex. In the solid Cu(hfac)₂L₂ complexes, antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the unpaired electrons of the nitroxide fragments of the adjacent molecules prevail, due to which μ_eff decreases with decreasing temperature, and the spins of nitroxides are completely compensated at 5–10 K. The Cu(hfac)₂ L ⁴ complex displays strong intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling, due to which μ_eff at room temperature is close to 2.9 μ_B. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Stable Nitroxide 2-Cyano-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-3-oxide-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl

Crystal and molecular structure of the nitroxide 2-cyano-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-3-oxide-2-imidazoline-1-oxyl was studied. The nontrivial features of the structure are coplanarity of all atoms of the 2-imidazoline heterocycle and the nitrile group bonded to it and short intermolecular contacts between the nitroxyl O atoms and the C atoms in the 2 position of the heterocycles of the neighboring molecules, actually forming layers in the crystal structure. These data agree with the results of magnetic studies, which are well approximated by the two-dimensional model, which is a rare occurrence for organic magnets.

Crystallography and magnetism of radicals with hindered hydroxyl groups: 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl and 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-oxyl

Radicals form networks of OH...ON and OH...Me(nitroxide) interactions. In 2, a frustrated network forms with insufficient N-O units to form extended chain interactions. The magnetism of 1 fits a 1-D Heisenberg model with J/k=-25 J mol(-1), while 2 shows more complex exchange behaviour consistent with its disordered crystal lattice.

New derivatives of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-imidazol-1-oxyl 3-oxide as monomers for polyradicals with special magnetic properties

The preparation of new derivatives of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-oxyl 3-oxide as monomers for purely organic polymers with special magnetic properties is described. 3,5-Diethynylbenzaldehyde and 3,5-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)benzaldehyde were converted to the corresponding 1,3-dihydroxy-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidine derivatives which were oxidized to stable nitronyl nitroxide radicals.     

Structure and magnetic properties of 3-oxyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-olates

The paramagnetic salts (NH₃Bu^t)1 and [K(NH₂Bu^t)₂]1, where 1 is the 3-oxyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-olate anion, were isolated for the first time in the individual state. The crystal structure of [K(NH₂Bu^t)₂]1 involves polymer chains formed by hydrogen bonding between anions 1 and [K₂(NH₂Bu^t)₄]²⁺ cation dimer fragments. The magnetic properties of [K(NH₂Bu^t)₂]1 are well described by the quasi-isolated dimer model with spins S = 1/2 coupled by weak exchange interactions via [K₂(NH₂Bu^t)₄]² fragments in polymer chains.     

Electronic structure of the organic half-metallic magnet: 2-(5-pyrimidinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-3-oxoimidazol-1-oxyl

An accurate full-potential density-functional method is used to study the magnetic and half-metallic properties in the pure organic materials: 2-(5-pyrimidinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-3-oxoimidazol-1-oxyl. The total and partial density of states and atomic spin magnetic moments are calculated and discussed. It is found that the unpaired electrons in this compound are localized in a molecular orbital constituted primarily of π^*(NO) orbital, and the main contribution of the spin magnetic moment comes from the NO free radicals. It is predicted that this compound is half-metallic magnet. It is also found that there exists ferromagnetic intermolecular interaction in the compound.     

2-(4,5,6,7-Tetrafluorobenzimidazol-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1- H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl, a hydrogen-bonded organic quasi-1D ferromagnet

The title radical (F4BImNN) is a stable nitronylnitroxide that forms hydrogen-bonded NH... ON chains in the solid state. The chains assemble the F4BImNN molecules to form stacked contacts between the radical groups, in a geometry that is expected to exhibit ferromagnetic (FM) exchange based on spin polarization (SP) models. The experimental magnetic susceptibility of F4BImNN confirms the expectation, showing 1-D Heisenberg chain FM exchange behavior over 1.8-300 K with an intrachain exchange constant of Jchain/k = +22 K. At lower temperatures, ac magnetic susceptibility and variable field heat capacity measurements show that F4BImNN acts as a quasi-1-D ferromagnet. The dominant ferromagnetic exchange interaction is attributable to overlap between spin orbitals of molecules within the hydrogen-bonded chains, consistent with the SP model expectations. The chains appear to be antiferromagnetically exchange coupled, giving cusps in the ac susceptibility and zero field heat capacity at lower temperatures. The results indicate that the sample orders magnetically at about 0.7 K. The magnetic heat capacity ordering cusp shifts to lower temperatures as external magnetic field increases, consistent with forming a bulk antiferromagnetic phase below a Néel temperature of TN(0) = 0.72 K, with a critical field of Hc approximately 1800 Oe. The interchain exchange is estimated to be zJ/k congruent with (-)0.1 K.     

Molecular recognition for stable organic radicals--2-(6-uradinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-oxyl

Stable radical 2-(6-uradinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-oxyl shows antiferromagnetic spin pairing with 2J/k= -14 K, attributable to a close contact between unpaired spin density on the imidazole-type nitrogen atoms; hydrogen bonds aid dimer formation, but do not appear to play an eletronic role in the magnetic behaviour.

The reactions of this dianion with nitriles derived from 2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole 3-oxide gave rise to an enamino nitrile, i.e., electrophilic cyanation formally occurred.     

Spin distribution and hydrogen-bond effect in ferromagnetic alpha-phase crystal of 2-(2',5'-dihydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxy-3-oxide

The result shows that the spin delocalization due to hyperconjugation effect plays an important role in the spin distribution and ferromagnetic coupling of the crystal.

Conformational study on indoline compounds. Structures of 2-phenyl-3-arylimino-3H-indole 1-Oxide, 1,2-dihydro-2-phenyl-2-benzyl- and 2-tert-Butyl-3-phenylimino-3H-indole 1-oxyls

Reacting 1-hydroxy-2-phenylindole with nitrosobenzene, 2-phenyl-3-phenylimino-3H-indole 1-oxide (1) is produced in only one of the two possible diastereomers. The latter reacts with tert-butylmagnesium chloride and benzylmagnesium chloride giving, after oxidation, the corresponding aminoxyls which show the same configuration of the phenylimino group at C-3 as in 1 . This has been demonstrated by means of nmr spectros-copy and X-ray crystal structure and represents an unexpected stereospecific reaction.
