A strong antiferromagnetic interaction between imino nitroxides through a PdII ion
Abstract
A palladium(II) complex with imino nitroxides, [PdCl2(immepy)2][immepy = 2-(6-methylpyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-oxy], shows a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the coordinated imino nitroxides, which results from indirect overlap of radical SOMOs through a dxy orbital.
