ABSTRACT: A new nitronyl nitroxide radical L (L = 2-(4-(5methyl-carbonyl-3-pyriyl)benzoxo)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) containing N−O groups and the pyridyl nitrogen group was designed and synthesized as a multidentate ligand to obtain compounds with interesting structures and magnetic properties from 3d or 3d-4f precursors. The reaction of Cu(hfac)2 and/or Gd(hfac)3·2H2O (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) with L resulted in a rare S = 13/2 high spin ground state CuII complex [(Cu(hfac)2)7(L)6] (1) and a CuII− GdIII chain complex [Gd(hfac)3Cu(hfac)2(L)2]n·0.5CH2Cl2 (2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the N−O groups of the L radicals are all axially bound to CuII ions in complex 1, which result in the ferromagnetic exchange between CuII and radicals and an S = 13/2 high spin ground state. While adding Gd(hfac)3 units to the system of Cu(hfac)2 and L radical, a one dimension chain structure is obtained, and there are ferromagnetic GdIII-radical interactions and antiferromagnetic radical−radical coupling in the chain.

INTRODUCTION The study on metal−organic radical complexes has attracted more and more attention in the past few decades due to the intriguing magnetic interactions between metal ions and the organic spin carriers.1−3 For example, Long and co-workers reported their work on radical bridged lanthanide single molecular magnets with a high spin-reversal barrier and record TB.4,5 Among the commonly used organic radicals, nitronyl nitroxide radicals (NITR) are more attractive because they are stable and easy to synthesize.6−9 In addition, modification of the substituted R groups of NITR with functional coordination groups can generate various metal-radical complexes with diverse magnetic properties.10,11 For example, Cu(II)-nitronyl nitroxide radicals complexes with different R groups can form mono- and polynuclear complexes, as well as one-dimensional and higher dimensional architectures.12−23 To pursue polynuclear cupric adducts with a high spin ground state, a novel bridging tridentate nitronyl nitroxide radical L (L = 2-(4-(5methyl-carbonyl-3-pyriyl)benzoxo)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) with N−O groups and pyridyl ring functional coordination groups was used, which can provide valuable radical building blocks for the design and synthesis of 3d or 3d-4f complexes of high nuclearity. Herein, a high spin ground state (S = 13/2) is realized in a heptanuclear L radicalbased Cu(II) complex. Additionally, 2p-3d-4f compounds containing three different spin carriers are not widely investigated because of the difficulty of synthesis.3,24−28 According to the Pearson classification, lanthanide ions are © 2016 American Chemical Society
considered to be hard acids and prefer to coordinate with oxygen atoms, while transition metal ions prefer N atoms.29−31 With this in mind, L radical links the Gd(III) ion and Cu(II) ion through the N−O group and the pyridyl nitrogen respectively, forming a one-dimensional 2p-3d-4f compound.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Description of the Crystal Structures. The radical L is a bridging tridentate ligand with variable coordination groups of two N−O groups and pyridyl ring, so it could possibly link metal ions by “head and head” through two N−O groups or “head and tail” through N−O and pyridine.10,39 The crystal structure and packing arrangement of the radical are shown in Figure 1 and Figure S1.

Crystal Structure of Complex 1[(Cu(hfac)2)7(L)6]. In Figure 2, complex 1 has an “inversion butterfly-like”
the repeating unit contains one Cu(hfac)2, one Gd(hfac)3, two L radicals, and half of a dichloromethane solvent molecule also exists between the adjacent chains. Gd(III) ion has an eightcoordinated D2d triangular dodecahedral geometry (as shown in Figure S4 and calculated by the SHAPE software42−44), formed by six oxygens from three hfac and other two O atoms from the N−O groups of L radicals. The Gd−O(rad) bond lengths are 2.340(18) Å and 2.288(18) Å, and the nearest intrachain and interchain GdIII···GdIII distances are 19.335 (13) Å and 12.805(10) Å. The distance of GdIII···CuII is 9.8475(7) Å. An elongated octahedral geometry of CuII ion is constructed by two bidenate hfac ions and two L radical through pyridine N. In the equatorial plane of octahedral geometry, the Cu−O and Cu−N distances fall in the range of 1.964(18)−2.026(2) Å, while the apical Cu−O bond lengths associated with the hfac groups are 2.295(19) Å and 2.232(19) Å. The packing arrangement of the chains of complex 2 is shown in Figure S3. There are no inter-/intramolecular π−π interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions between the molecules.

centrosymmetric heptanuclear structure crystallizing in the triclinic space group P1̅, consisting of seven Cu(hfac)2 units linked by six L radicals to form a spin S = 13/2 complex (seeing from magnetic properties). In this complex, seven CuII ions are all six coordinated by L radicals and hfac ligands in an octahedron geometry. And Cu4 is in the center of the complex, which is coordinated to two radicals through N−O group in the axial position (Cu4−O27 2.344(2) Å). Additionally, Cu1, Cu2, and Cu3 have a similar elongated octahedron geometry formed by hfac, radical N−O, and pyridine groups. The O atom of the radical occupied axial coordinate sites in the adduct of Cu(hfac)2, as a result, the apical Cu(Cu1, Cu2, and Cu3)O(radical) and Cu−O(hfac) bond lengths are 2.453(2)− 2.697(2) Å and 2.221(3)−2.264(2) Å, while the equatorial Cu−O(hfac)/N(pyridine) are much shorter than the apical bonds (Table S2). Cu1 links to Cu3 by radical L through “head and head” mode, Cu2 links to Cu1 or Cu3 through “head and tail” mode, and links to Cu3 by “head to tail” mode, which make the centrosymmetric heptanuclear copper complexes. The whole molecular and packing arrangement of 1 is shown in Supporting Information, Figure S2. Crystal structure of complex 2 [Gd(hfac)3Cu(hfac)2(L)2]n· 0.5CH2Cl2. When combining three different spins (GdIII, CuII ions, and radical) in one system, the structure of comoplex 2 changes to a one-dimensional chain (Figure 3 and Figure S3) according to the Pearson classification.29−31 In this principle, O atoms prefer to coordinate to Gd(III) ions which is a hard acid, while the N atoms coordinate to Cu(II) ions. As a result, GdIII ions are linked to CuII ions through L radical by “head and tail” mode, and complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅;

The χMT of room-temperature is 5.35 cm3 K mol−1, which is in good agreement with those reported for other Cu II complexes,16,17,20,41,45 and is higher than the expected values χMT (4.88 cm3 K mol−1) of noninteracting six radicals (S = 1/2, g = 2, χMT = 0.375 cm3 K mol−1) plus seven cupric ions (S = 1/ 2, g > 2, χMT = 0.375 cm3 K mol−1). Upon cooling, the plot of χMT increases steadily to 8.21 cm3 K mol−1 at 2 K, indicating the dominating ferromagnetic interactions in the complex. From the crystal structure point of view, there are two kinds of magnetic interactions (which also can be seen in Scheme 2), namely, (i) Cu(II) coupling with radical through N−O group, J1 and J3, (ii) Cu(II) coupling with radical through nitrogen atom of pyridine ring, J2. To evaluate the magnetic interactions in the spin 13/2 system, the magnetic susceptibility data can be Scheme 2. Magnetic Interactions in Complex 1

The best fitting parameters were obtained as g = 2.05, and the exchange coupling values J1, J2, and J3 (which are shown to be the interactions between different paramagnetic center in Scheme 2) are 18.72, 0.06, and 16.73 cm−1, respectively. As is known, the magnetic coupling between Cu(II) ions and radicals through N−O groups is always much stronger than that through the nitrogen atom of pyridine,47,48 and the value differences of J1 and J3 are possibly due to the various CuII−Orad bond distances.13,41 From magnetostructural point of view, the N−O groups of the radicals L are all axially bound to CuII ions in complex 1, which makes the π* orbital of NO group orthogonal to the dx2−y2 orbital of Cu2+. This results in parallel spin orientations of the copper(II) ion and nitronyl nitroxide and hence the ferromagnetic exchange between CuII and radicals with an S = 13/2 high spin ground state. The M versus H curve at 2.0 K for complex 1 is shown in Figure S5, and the magnetization value 13.30 Nβ at 7 T is slightly higher than the expected saturation value of 13.00 Nβ, as predicted by the Brillouin function for 13 uncoupled spins (g = 2, T = 2 K), which supports the presence of ferromagnetic interaction in this complex (Figure S5). The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities for 2 were measured between 2 and 300 K under 1000 Oe field as shown in Figure 5. The χMT value at 300 K is 18.09 cm3 K mol−1,

The best fitting yields g = 2.02, J1 = 0.30, J2 = −2.35, zJ′ = 0.025, and gCu = 2.08. The positive J1 indicates ferromagnetic interactions between Gd(III) and the radical. The negative J2 can be considered as the antiferromagnetic coupling between the radicals through GdIII ion, which is consistent with what has been reported in literature.49,50

ASSOCIATED CONTENT
A new multidentate radical containing variable functional coordination groups of two N−O groups and a pyridyl ring has been reported to provide a possibility to link metal ions “head and head” though two N−O groups or “head and tail” though N−O and pyridine. The radical L coordinates with Cu(hfac)2 and/or Gd(hfac)3·2H2O to produce a rare high spin ground state S = 13/2 CuII complex and a CuII−GdIII chain compound. The positive exchange interaction in complex 1 is consistent with the point in which an octahedral Cu(II) ion axially coordinated with the N−O groups of the radical ligand leads to ferromagnetically coupling. After adding isotropic Gd(III) ions, the structure changes from an inversion butterfly complex to one-dimensional chains. The change of structure and central metal resulted in a different magnetic behavior. As a result, the magnetic coupling of Gd(III) ions and L radical is ferromagnetic, and there is antiferromagnetic coupling between the radicals through the GdIII ion. This investigation may open up new opportunities to develop high spin ground 2f-3d complexes and novel 2p-3d-4f magnetic complexes.

which is close to the expected values of 17.26 cm3 K mol−1 for one uncoupled GdIII ion (S = 7/2, g = 2, χMT = 7.88 cm3 K mol−1), two L (S = 1/2, g = 2, χMT = 0.375 cm3 K mol−1), and one CuII ion (S = 1/2, g > 2, χMT = 0.375 cm3 K mol−1). Monotonic increase of the χMT value is observed in Figure 5 from 17.26 cm3 K mol−1at 300 K to 29.51 cm3 K mol−1 at 2 K. As is reported that the exchange interaction between the Cu(II) ion and nitroxide radical via the pyridine nitrogen is always very weak, the system can be simplified as a three spin unit of RadO−N-GdIII−RadO−N plus an independent Cu(II) ion. Thus, the magnetic interaction in this system can be well fitted by eqs 1 and 2, using an isotropic exchange Hamiltonian H = −2J1(SRad1SGd1 + SGd1SRad2) − 2J2SRad1SRad2 to analyze the RadO−N−GdIII−RadO−N three spin unit. The J1 and J2 in the Hamiltonian can be described as the exchange coupling
