%X We describe the structural
features and magnetic properties of two polynuclear copperĀ(II) complexes
containing a redox-active ligand. These neutral complexes each bear
the formula RL4Cu4 (R = tBu, Me)
with the ligand in a dianion-aminyl radical oxidation state. X-ray
data and density functional theory calculations support an aminyl-type
radical character in these complexes, making these the first polynuclear
metal aminyl radical complexes.
