“…Organic radical species can also be applied to spin sources [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], and ligands can serve not only as a cap, bridge, or polyhedron regulator, but also as a spin carrier. According to the “metal–radical approach” proposed by Gatteschi et al [ 15 , 16 ], direct metal-radical coordination bonds afford considerable magnetic exchange interaction. A number of ligands based on 2-azaaryl tert -butyl nitroxides (aminoxyls) have been explored for 2p-3d [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ] as well as 2p-4f heterospin systems [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”
