Metal
complexation reactions of N-t-butyl-N-oxidanyl-2-amino(nitronyl nitroxide) diradical (1) with M(hfac)2 (M: Mn or Cu) were investigated.
These reactions were found to be very sensitive to the type of metal
ion employed. Complex [Mn(hfac)2·1],
consisting of Mn(hfac)2 and diradical 1, was
readily prepared by mixing the components. However, the reaction of
Cu(hfac)2 with 1 or N-t-butyl-N-oxidanyl-2-amino(iminonitroxide)
diradical (2) involved the reduction of the diradical
to the N-t-butyl-N-oxidanide-2-amino(iminonitroxide) radical anion (3)
and finally produced the polymer-chain complex [Cu2(hfac)2·32·Cu(hfac)2]n. The structures of these complexes
were elucidated by X-ray analysis, and their magnetic properties were
investigated in detail. The temperature dependence of χpT (χp: magnetic susceptibility)
for [Mn(hfac)2·1] exhibited a strong
antiferromagnetic interaction (H = −2JS1·S2, J/kB = −217 K) between the Mn(II) spin (S = 5/2) and the diradical 1 spin (S = 1). However, the χpT–T plots for [Cu2(hfac)2·32·Cu(hfac)2]n indicated the presence of several magnetic interactions:
a large ferromagnetic interaction (J/kB = 510 K) between iminonitroxide 3 and the
imino-coordinating Cu(II) atom, a moderately large ferromagnetic interaction
(J/kB = 58 K) between
the iminonitroxide and (iminonitroxide oxygen)-coordinating Cu(hfac)2, and a weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J/kB = −1.4 K) between the two
Cu(hfac)-3 moieties within a Cu2O2 square.
