A novel nitronyl nitroxide NIT-thien-3-Py (2-(3-(m-pyridyl)-2-thienyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) and its Mn(II) complex [Mn(hfac)2(NIT-thien-3-Py)]2 (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) have been obtained. X-ray analysis indicates that the Mn(II) complex possesses a cyclic dimer structure in which two radical ligands link two Mn(II) ions through their NO groups and pyridine rings. The study of the magnetic data indicates that the manganese(II) ion strongly and antiferromagnetically interacts with the directly bonding NO group and there is weak ferromagnetic coupling between two Mn–NO pairs through the thiophene and pyridine rings of the radical ligand in agreement with a spin polarization mechanism.

Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with deprotonated N-[2'-(4-methyl)pyrimidinyl]-2-nitrobenzenesulfonylurea were synthesized and their structures were characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The deprotonated sulfonylurea is a bidentate ligand to Co(II) or Cu(II) in octahedral geometry. In the packing diagrams of the complexes, C-H ··· O hydrogen bonds are observed. The UV and fluorescence spectra of the complexes are described, and the thermogravimetric analyses of the complexes were performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
