“…A similar reaction with SF,(CN) generates F,SCNSNS (which contains the 1,3,2,4-dithiadiazoIyI unit and which may be reduced to a radical species by triphenylantimony),21 while Hg(CN), gives [Hg(CNSNS),]' +, the first example of a rnetalladithiadiazolylium saIt. 22 The isomerisation of RCNSNS' radicals has been studied, leading to the conclusion that dimer formation followed by photochemical symmetry-allowed rearrangement results in the formation of RCNSSN.23 The latter class of compound has been the subject of much interest from the point of view of the novel solid-state properties they can exhibit. Thus, p-NCC,F,(CNSSN) has been shown to be the first main-group radical to exhibit spontaneous magnetisation above liquid helium temperature (36 K), 24 while the (CNSSN)," diradica1 (formed when the product of N,N'-diaminooxamidine and excess SCI, is reduced with [SbPh,]) forms a metallically conducting charge-transfer salt with iodine.z5 Finally, the properties of salts of the related species (CNSSS),"'.…”
