Elucidating the paramagnetic interactions of an inorganic-organic hybrid radical-functionalized Mn-Anderson cluster

Abstract

A family of six polyoxometalate-based magnetic compounds were synthesized by anchoring N-oxide type TEMPO radicals onto an Anderson type polyoxometalate cluster. The complexes were structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the intramolecular paramagnetic interactions between TEMPO radicals and Mn ions of the resulting hybrids were investigated in detail by electron paramagnetic resonance and the Evans NMR method.
