The foundation of all magnetic behaviors lies in the unique interactions between unpaired electrons: exchange coupling. Organic radicals and compounds incorporating them are of increasing interest as they may be developed into new-types of magnetic materials. Heterospin biradicals, those composed of two-different spin-carrying moieties, are of significant interest synthetically and theoretically, since their added complexity allows for more flexibility in molecular magnet design, but more importantly the exchange coupling between the unpaired electrons can be understood using fundamental aspects of Molecular Orbital theory. One modern research focus is to prepare and understand the exchange coupling of new heterospin biradicals. To this end, the heterospin biradical Nitroxyl-Galvinoxyl has been synthesized and characterized by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and electrochemistry. |
