Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Alongside the inorganic transition and lanthanide metal ions, organic free radicals have had a leading role in the early development of molecule-based magnets. This certainly holds in the beginning, partly because free radicals are by nature molecular spin-carriers and departs from classic magnets, in contrast to inorganic metal ions. Moreover, as specific of organic chemistry there is the rich palette of potential variations attached to free radicals. Free radicals have been investigated (with some notable success) in magnetism as molecular bricks of purely organic magnets. Further enthusiasm for free radicals has came when nitronyl nitroxide radicals were used as bridging ligands in so-called metal-radicals, presenting the marriage of organic and inorganic spin-carriers.

The molecular magnetism community has been moving towards single-molecule magnets; however, due to their lack of magnetic anisotropy, there have been less efforts, but the field is still active. Moreover, the growing interest in redox-active ligands, as well as radical-based polymeric materials, promising charge transporting and storable materials, makes free radicals promising for magnetic multifunctional materials.

In this context, we believe this Special Issue of Magnetochemistry provides an opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-art of free radicals, without any restrictions, but work that also includes original work in synthesis and investigation, dedicated to magnetism and prospects in functional materials.

A one-dimensional chain-type dicopper(II) coordination polymer with 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)-benzene (dpybz), [Cu2(O2C-tBu)4(dpybz)] (1), is synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and CHN elemental analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction confirms that the one-dimensional chains of 1 are assembled with CH···π interactions at the dpybz moieties to form a brick-like porous network structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurement and broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations indicate that (i) antiferromagnetic interactions are present between two copper ions through the bridging carboxylate ligands; the observed exchange integral value (J) of 1 is −175.3 cm−1, which is consistent with the DFT-calculated value for 1 (−174.5 cm−1), and (ii) the magnetic interaction between two Cu2 units through the dpybz ligand is negligible. N2 adsorption measurements indicate that the porous structure of 1 is retained even after evacuation of the guest solvents from the pores of 1, and 1 adsorbs N2 molecules into its pores (the Langmuir surface area of 1 is estimated as 538.0 m2/g).

The crystal structures of [Cu2(caproxy)4(pds)]n, [Cu2(catempo)4(4,4′-bpy)]n, and [Cu2(catempo)4(bpe)]n revealed zigzag or linear chains consisting of alternate arrangement of the dinuclear cluster bearing four nitroxide radicals and N,N’-bidentate ligand. Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities showed a considerable antiferromagnetic interaction between the two copper(II) ions within the dinuclear cluster, and weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the dinuclear clusters and/or the radical and dinuclear cluster.

A lantern-type diruthenium(II,III) complex [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)] was prepared from [Ru2(HNOCPh)4Cl]n by removal of the axial chlorido-bridge using AgBF4 in THF. The room temperature magnetic moment (per Ru25+ unit) of [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)] is 3.84 μB, which is similar to that (4.15 μB) of [Ru2(HNOCPh)4Cl]n, for which magnetic measurement was newly performed in this study. These results indicate that both of the complexes have a spin state of S = 3/2, although temperature-variable (VT) magnetic moments (2–300 K) showed that considerable antiferromagnetic interaction (zJ = −2.8 cm−1) exists through the axial chlorido-bridge for [Ru2(HNOCPh)4Cl]n, but such a large interaction (zJ = −0.08 cm−1) does not exist for [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)], where the large zero-field splitting D = 61 cm−1 is operative for both complexes, like other lantern-type diruthenium(II,III) complexes. The X-ray single-crystal structure analysis of [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)]·2(acetone) showed that the axial positions of the complex were occupied by a fluorine atom of the BF4− ion and an oxygen atom of the water molecule, with distances of Ru-Fax = 2.3265(19) Å and Ru-Oax = 2.280(2) Å, respectively. The Ru-Ru bond distance was 2.2793(4) Å, which is shorter than those (2.295(2) and 2.290(2) Å) reported for [Ru2(HNOCPh)4Cl]n. The quartet ground states (S = 3/2) were reasonably interpreted for [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)] and [Ru2(HNOCPh)4Cl]n, as well as the theoretically modeled complex cation [Ru2(HNOCPh)4]+, by DFT calculation results. A Ru26+/Ru25+ redox couple was observed at 1.12 V (vs. SCE) for [Ru2(HNOCPh)4(BF4)(H2O)] in dichloromethane containing Bu4NPF6 as electrolyte. Full article
