Syntheses and magnetic properties of a pyrimidyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxide radical and its cobalt(ii) complexes†
Abstract
A new bis-bidentate nitronyl nitroxide radical with a pyrimidyl substituent group and two Co(II) complexes of this ligand were synthesized and characterized. Field-induced single-molecule magnet behavior was firstly observed in the nitronyl nitroxide radical-bridged complexes.
