Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Magnetic Property of New Trispin Ln(III)‐Nitronyl Nitroxide Complexes

Four Ln(III) complexes based on a new nitronyl nitroxide radical have been synthesized and structurally characterized: {Ln(hfac)₃[NITPh(MeO)₂]₂} (Ln = Eu( 1 ), Gd( 2 ), Tb( 3 ), Dy( 4 ); NITPh(MeO)₂ = 2‐(3′,4′‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate). The single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis shows that these complexes have similar mononuclear trispin structures, in which central Ln(III) ion is eight‐coordinated by two O‐atoms from two nitroxide groups and six O‐atoms from three hfac anions. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibility study reveals that there exist ferromagnetic interactions between Gd(III) and the radicals, and antiferromagnetic interactions between two radicals (J_Gd‐Rad = 3.40 cm^?1, J_Rad‐Rad = ?9.99 cm^?1) in complex 2 . Meanwhile, antiferromagnetic interactions are estimated between Eu(III) (or Dy(III)) and radicals in complexes 1 and 4 , and ferromagnetic interaction between Tb(III) and radicals in complex 3 , respectively.

Syntheses,Structures, and Properties of Two New Tri‐spin Lanthanide‐Nitronyl Nitroxide (LnIII = GdIII and HoIII) Complexes

Abstract. Two radical–Ln^III–radical complexes, [Ln(hfac)₃(NITPh‐Ph)₂] [Ln = Gd ( 1 ) and Ho ( 2 ), hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; and NITPh‐Ph = 4′‐biphenyl‐4, 4, 5, 5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide] were synthesized and characterized by X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, as well as IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. X‐ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the structures of both complexes are isomorphous, the central Ln^III ions are coordinated by six oxygen atoms from three hfac ligand molecules and two oxygen atoms from nitronyl radicals. The temperature dependencies of the magnetic susceptibilities were studied. They showed that in the Gd^III complex, ferromagnetic interactions between Gd^III and the radicals and antiferromagnetic interactions between the radicals coexist in this system (with J_Rad–Gd = 0.1 cm^–1, J_Rad–Rad = –0.309 cm^–1).

Five rare earth heterospin complexes [Ln(hfac)₃(NITptBuPh)₂], [Ln^III = Eu ( 1 ), Tb ( 2 ), Dy ( 3 ), Ho ( 4 ), Er ( 5 )] (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate), were synthesized with the radical ligand NITptBuPh [2‐(4′‐tert‐butylphenyl)‐4, 4,5, 5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide]. These complexes exhibit similar structures. All of them crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, and consist of discrete mononuclear molecules.

Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of (Pyrrolidin‐1‐oxyl)–(Nitronyl Nitroxide)/(Iminonitroxide)‐Dyads

Unlike extensively studied diradicals linked by π‐conjugated systems, only a few studies have investigated weakly coupled diradicals linked by an sp³ carbon atom. Herein, we prepared pyrrolidin‐1‐oxyl–(nitronyl nitroxide)‐dyad 5 and pyrrolidin‐1‐oxyl–iminonitroxide‐dyad 6 . From the observed temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, 5 and 6 were determined to be in singlet ground states with 2J_intra/k_B=?35.2 K and ?13.6 K, respectively. From these results and theoretical calculations of related diradicals, the spin‐polarization model counting the small spin density of the sp³ carbon atom could be used as a spin‐prediction model.

In complex 3 , two nitrogen atoms, one of the pyridyl group of bppz and one of N₃^? ligands, are weakly coordinated to neighbor Cu(II) ion thus leading to formation of a 1‐D chain structure. In complex 4 , one nitrogen atom of terminated N₃^? is weakly coordinated to the neighbor Cu(II) site to form a 1‐D polymeric structure. The magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that complex 1 and 4 exhibit a weak antiferromagnetic interaction whereas a ferromagnetic coupling has been established for complexes 2 and 3 .

Three Nickel(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes with Two Novel Nitronyl Nitroxide Ligands: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Luminescent Properties

To explore the coordination abilities of nitronyl nitroxide ligands, two ligands substituted with quinoxaline ( L¹ ) and 2‐phenyl‐1, 2, 3‐triazole ( L² ) and their Ni^II and Zn^II complexes: Ni( L¹ )(hfac)₂ ( 1 ), Ni( L² )(hfac)₂ ( 2 ), and Zn( L² )(hfac)₂ ( 3 ) (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate), were synthesized and characterized. X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction analysis shows that compound 1 has a mononuclear structure, which is further linked into a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular network by C–H ··· F hydrogen‐bonding, C–H ··· π, and π ··· π stacking interactions. Complexes 2 and 3 have similar mononuclear structures, which are further linked into one‐dimensional (1D) supramolecular chains by various intermolecular weak interactions, such as C–H ··· F hydrogen‐bonding, and π ··· π stacking interactions. The results indicate that the steric bulk of L¹ and L² and the existence of hexafluoroacetylacetonate (hfac) play important roles in controlling the formation of the final frameworks of complexes 1 – 3 . Moreover, the luminescent properties of the ligands and their complexes were investigated in detail.
