Description:
Abstract. Two radical– Ln III –radical complexes, [ Ln (hfac) 3 (NITPh-Ph) 2 ] [ Ln = Gd ( 1 ) and Ho ( 2 ), hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; and NITPh-Ph = 4′-biphenyl-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide] were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, as well as IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the structures of both complexes are isomorphous, the central Ln III ions are coordinated by six oxygen atoms from three hfac ligand molecules and two oxygen atoms from nitronyl radicals. The temperature dependencies of the magnetic susceptibilities were studied. They showed that in the Gd III complex, ferromagnetic interactions between Gd III and the radicals and antiferromagnetic interactions between the radicals coexist in this system (with J Rad–Gd = 0.1 cm –1 , J Rad–Rad = –0.309 cm –1 ).
