Towards a better understanding of magnetic interactions within m-phenylene alpha-nitronyl nitroxide and imino nitroxide based radicals, part III: Magnetic exchange in a series of triradicals and tetraradicals based on the phenyl acetylene and biphenyl coupling units

The present work completes and extends our previous reports on the determination of the magnetic ground state and on the strength of the through bond exchange coupling within series of biradicals. This knowledge was subsequently exploited for the analysis of the magnetic interactions in their crystals. We report here the studies of series of triradicals incorporating alpha-nitronyl nitroxides (NN) or alpha-imino nitroxides (IN) as terminal radical fragments connected through a m-phenylene coupling unit in one case and a phenyl acetylene unit in other case. Tetraradical derivatives have also been studied. The studies of isolated molecules (EPR in solution and DFT calculations) allow the assessment of the magnetic interactions through the magnetic coupling unit. All triradical derivatives are found to exhibit a quartet ground state, whereas a singlet ground state is determined for the tetraradical. This last result reinforces previous findings that the singlet ground state is favoured in related biradicals involving similar m-phenylene couplers. Moreover, the through bond magnetic exchange coupling for the ortho-meta connectivity could be demonstrated as being ferromagnetic, thus ascertaining our previous hypotheses. The magnetic properties of the triradicals and tetraradicals in their solid state have been rationalized by using a previously proposed methodology, allowing to identify the most relevant magnetic pathways.

Spin exchange interaction through phenylene-ethynylene bridge in diradicals based on iminonitroxide and nitronylnitroxide radical derivatives. 1. Experimental investigation of the through-bond spin exchange coupling

A series of bis-iminonitroxide diradical derivatives of different lengths and geometry have been prepared that incorporate a conjugated phenylene-ethynylene bridge as a rigid spacer. This paper describes the synthesis of these new components and their main characterizations. An unexpected singlet ground state and substituent effects on the singlet-triplet gap have been found for substituted "m-phenylene"-based diradicals. The effects of the pi-conjugation on the intramolecular through-bond spin coupling have been investigated by changing the length of the spacer within linear derivatives. The EPR studies demonstrate the intramolecular magnetic coupling between the radical spins within all compounds. This result is very attractive and unusual, given the large distance between the radicals from 15 A in the dimer to 36 A in the pentamer.     

Studies on Effect of Conformation on Spin Multiplicity of m－Phenylene Type of Biradicals by Different Approaches

The effect of the conformation on the spin multiplicity of the ground state and the stability of the ground state were investigated for m-phenylene type of biradicals by means of comparative study with DFT, CASSCF and AM1-CI approaches. It was found that AM1-CI approach is reliable in dealing with the stability of the high-spin ground state with the change of conformation; DFT method can give the reasonable results of the spin density of the high-spin state. Furthermore, when one or two radical centers are twisted sufficiently out of the coniugation with the benzene ring, m-phenylene turns into weak ferromagnetic and weak antiferro-magnetic coupling units, respectively.

Syntheses, optical and intramolecular magnetic properties of mono- and di-radicals based on nitronyl-nitroxide and oxoverdazyl groups appended to 2,6-bispyrazolylpyridine cores

This paper presents the synthesis of a series of nitronyl-nitroxide (NN), oxoverdazyl (OVZ) based mono-, and bi-radicals attached to 4-phenyl-2,6-bispyrazolylpyridine coupling unit, their optical, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopic studies and computational analysis. The ESR studies revealed that the axial zero-field splitting (zfs) parameter of the NN biradical (|D/hc| = 0.00719 cm(-1)) is larger than the OVZ biradical (|D/hc| = 0.00601 cm(-1)). Additionally both biradicals displayed forbidden half-field transitions (ΔM(s) = ±2; g(av) ~ 4.01) at 170 K demonstrating their triplet nature. The cryogenic ESR measurements of the two biradicals showed a Curie magnetic behaviour of the ΔM(s) = ±2 signal intensities (χ(EPR)) down to 4.2 K. A detailed comparative analysis of the strength of hyperfine coupling, spin density distribution, zfs and the spin-spin exchange coupling (J) of both NN and OVZ based biradicals showed that the ground state spin multiplicity of both biradicals is probably triplet (S = 1) or it is nearly degenerate singlet-triplet states with J(NN)?J(OVZ).

A new model for Overhauser enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance using nitroxide radicals

Nitroxide free radicals are the most commonly used source for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments and are also exclusively employed as spin labels for electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy of diamagnetic molecules and materials. Nitroxide free radicals have been shown to have strong dipolar coupling to (1)H in water, and thus result in large DNP enhancement of (1)H NMR signal via the well known Overhauser effect. The fundamental parameter in a DNP experiment is the coupling factor, since it ultimately determines the maximum NMR signal enhancements which can be achieved. Despite their widespread use, measurements of the coupling factor of nitroxide free radicals have been inconsistent, and current models have failed to successfully explain our experimental data. We found that the inconsistency in determining the coupling factor arises from not taking into account the characteristics of the ESR transitions, which are split into three (or two) lines due to the hyperfine coupling of the electron to the (14)N nuclei (or (15)N) of the nitric oxide radical. Both intermolecular Heisenberg spin exchange interactions as well as intramolecular nitrogen nuclear spin relaxation mix the three (or two) ESR transitions. However, neither effect has been taken into account in any experimental studies on utilizing or quantifying the Overhauser driven DNP effects. The expected effect of Heisenberg spin exchange on Overhauser enhancements has already been theoretically predicted and observed by Bates and Drozdoski [J. Chem. Phys. 67, 4038 (1977)]. Here, we present a new model for quantifying Overhauser enhancements through nitroxide free radicals that includes both effects on mixing the ESR hyperfine states. This model predicts the maximum saturation factor to be considerably higher by the effect of nitrogen nuclear spin relaxation. Because intramolecular nitrogen spin relaxation is independent of the nitroxide concentration, this effect is still significant at low radical concentrations where electron spin exchange is negligible. This implies that the only correct way to determine the coupling factor of nitroxide free radicals is to measure the maximum enhancement at different concentrations and extrapolate the results to infinite concentration. We verify our model with a series of DNP experimental studies on (1)H NMR signal enhancement of water by means of (14)N as well as (15)N isotope enriched nitroxide radicals.     

The cyano nitronyl nitroxide radical: experimental and theoretical evidence for the fourth case of the McConnell-I mechanism

The nitronyl nitroxide 2-cyano-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (1) crystallises in the tetragonal P42(1)m space group with a=7.4050(7), c=8.649(1) A. In the crystal the molecules form layers parallel to the ab plane in which they are orthogonal to each other. In the layers there are close contacts, 2.953(2) A, between the NO groups and the bridging carbon atoms of the O-N-C-N-O fragment of neighbouring radicals. The calculated spin density shows a positive population mainly and equally localised on the NO groups and small but significant negative spin densities on the bridging carbon atom and the cyano nitrogen. Absorption spectra show temperature-dependent transitions related to the magnetic behaviour. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in the range 2-300 K reveals that couplings between the radicals are antiferromagnetic, and is interpreted by considering a two-dimensional square array of spin S=1/2 antiferromagnetically coupled (J=-10 cm(-1) and g=2.01). This is interpreted as an exchange coupling through close contact between positive and negative spin densities in orthogonal orbitals on oxygen and carbon atoms, respectively.
