Metal-radical hetero-tri-spin SCM with methyl-pyrazole-nitronyl nitroxide bridges

The preparation, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of a family of hetero-tri-spin 1-D coordination polymers with formula [Ln(hfac)3Cu(hfac)2(4-NIT-MePyz)2] (Ln = Gd, 1, Tb, 2, Dy, 3; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; 4-NIT-MePyz...

Formation of metal-radical species upon reduction of late transition metal complexes with heteroleptic ligands: an experimental and theoretical study

Three novel transition metal complexes with selenadiazoloquinolones as potential broad spectrum antibiotics in clinical praxis.

A four-parameter system for rationalising the electronic properties of transition metal–radical ligand complexes

A heuristic four-parameter scheme captures and predicts the electronic properties of radical-ligand transition metal compounds, overcoming ligand specific descriptions.

A heteroleptic diradical Cr(iii) complex with extended spin delocalization and large intramolecular magnetic exchange

Ligand-based successive reductions in a heteroleptic Cr(iii) complex give rise to intended extremely strong metal–radical magnetic interactions.

A black-box approach to the construction of metal-radical multispin systems and analysis of their magnetic properties

The metal cation-induced transformation of nitronyl-nitroxide diradicals led to formation of the binuclear Mn(ii) and Ni(ii) complexes with six paramagnetic centres, their magnetic properties were analysed using high-level calculations.

Probing the strong magnetic exchange behaviour of transition metal–radical complexes: a DFT case study

Alteration of the structural parameters of metal–radical complexes may pave the way forward for fine tuning the magnetic exchange coupling value as high as >−500 cm−1 – a much sought-after parameter in the area of SMMs.

Exploring through-bond and through-space magnetic communication in 1,3,2-dithiazolyl radical complexes

Coordination of the dithiazolyl radical MBDTA leads to strong intramolecular metal–radical magnetic exchange but the strength of the intermolecular exchange coupling is strongly dependent on molecular packing.
