The preparation, X-ray crystal structure, EPR data, and magnetic measurement of [Cu(II)(hfac)(2)(TTF-py)(2)](PF(6)).2CH(2)Cl(2), a novel material where the conducting and the localized spin systems are covalently linked through conjugated bridges, are reported. The partial oxidation of the TTF-type organic donor ligand yielded the first radical cation salt of a paramagnetic transition metal complex. Moreover, this compound shows a mixed valence state at the unimolecular level, and additionally, the arrangement of the molecules in the crystal structure revealed the presence of isolated mixed valence TTF dimers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
