Abstract
Novel cationic mixed-ligand palladium and platinum complexes based on the chelating ligands 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridine with a pyridine bearing the nitronylnitroxide radical are reported. The synthesis, X-ray crystal structures and magnetic properties of the two complexes [Pd(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(NIT-pPy)2](PF6)2. DMF and [Pt(2,2′-bipyridine-N,N′)(NIT-pPy)2](PF6)2 · 0.25H2O, (where NIT-pPy = 2-(p-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) are described. The two metal complexes show a strained square planar geometry. Short intermolecular contacts take place through the nitroxide groups and weak intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions are dominant at low temperature.
