The reaction of nitrogen dioxide with several metal acetylacetonates was studied by electron spin resonance. Those metal complexes that have stable lower oxidation state, (i.e. Cu(II), Fe(III), Co(III), and VO(II)) react to form iminoxy radicals, while those metals not readily reduced (i.e. Zn(II), Cr(III), and Ce(III)) do not give iminoxy radicals. On the basis of the e.s.r. results, a simple mechanism was proposed to account for the formation of iminoxyacetylacetone radicals. A low temperature study of the e.s.r. spectra of the iminoxy-Cu(II)hexafluoroacetylacetonate suggested that a π-complex is formed between the organic radical and the Cu(II) compound.

The synthesis, physical properties, and electron spin resonance of frozen solutions of CoTAAB(NO3)2 (TAAB = tetrabenzo[b,f,j,n] [1,5,9,13]tetraazacyclohexadecine) are reported. The spin Hamiltonian parameters were elucidated by simulation of spectra assuming axial g and 59Co hyperfine tensors and including nuclear quadrupole and Zeeman contributions. Electron spin resonance spectra in solvents such as methanol, acetone, and dimethylformamide are typical for a low spin complex (S = 1/2) and are nearly identical with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In pyridine and quinoline a complex with a molar ratio solvent/ligand of 1:1 is formed with the solvent which gives [Formula: see text]and [Formula: see text] much closer to [Formula: see text]. In strong Lewis bases, such as piperidine, a 2:1 complex is formed and no esr signal is found. Evidence is presented to show that these 2:1 complexes with strong Lewis bases are S = 1/2 complexes with a low lying S = 3/2 state that is partially populated at room temperatures. This behaviour is accounted for in terms of a theory derived for a 2A1 ground state with a low lying quartet state which could become the ground state in strong basic solvents.
