2.3.4 [Zn(hfac) 2 ] 2·pymDTDA (II-7) <strong>and</strong> [Zn(hfac) 2 ] 2·pymDTDA<br />

[Zn(hfac) 2·pymDTDA] 2 (II-8)<br />

Compound II-7 is the first example of a radical lig<strong>and</strong> coordinated to a diamagnetic<br />

metal center. As a result, the magnetic susceptibility only h<strong>as</strong> contributions from the<br />

radical lig<strong>and</strong> making it a good benchmark from which to compare the radical<br />

coordination complexes of paramagnetic metal ions. At 1000 Oe, the χT product at room<br />

temperature starts at a value of 0.375 cm 3 K mol -1 <strong>and</strong> <strong>as</strong> the temperature is lowered there<br />

is no significant change, resulting in a flat line across the entire temperature regime. This<br />

Curie behaviour with a constant of 0.375 cm 3 K mol -1 is indicative of well isolated spin ½<br />

centers <strong>as</strong>suming g = 2.0.<br />

2 K at 1000 Oe.<br />

The intermolecular contacts shown in the crystal structure of the mixture of mono<strong>and</strong><br />

bi-nuclear units, II-8 suggests that the magnetic susceptibility should be more<br />

complex than that of the exclusively bi-nuclear complex II-7. At room temperature the<br />

χT product is 1.3 cm 3 K mol -1 which confirms the presence of three spin ½ centers <strong>as</strong><br />
