Abstract:
In contrast to diradicals connected by alternant hydrocarbons, only a few studies on those connected by nonalternant hydrocarbons have been reported. The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of azulene-1,3-diyl linked bis(nitronyl nitroxide) (NN2 Az) and bis(iminonitroxide) (IN2 Az) diradicals and their Cu(hfac)2 (hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate) complexes were investigated. NN2 Az was shown to have an intramolecular ferromagnetic interaction with Jobs /kB =+10.0 K (H=-2JS1 ⋅S2 ) between (nitronyl nitroxide) spins, whereas IN2 Az was estimated to have a much weaker intramolecular magnetic interaction. The reactions of NN2 Az and IN2 Az with Cu(hfac)2 gave a 1:2 [{Cu(hfac)2 }2 (NN2 Az)] complex and a 1:1 [Cu(hfac)2 (IN2 Az)]⋅C6 H12 complex, respectively. [{Cu(hfac)2 }2 (NN2 Az)] showed strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions (J1-Cu-R /kB ≈-800 K, J2-Cu-R /kB ≈-500 K) between the CuII spins and the coordinating NN spins, whereas [Cu(hfac)2 (IN2 Az)] exhibited a ferromagnetic exchange interaction (Jobs-Cu-R /kB =+114 K) between the CuII spin and the imino-coordinated iminonitroxide spin.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Though catalytic hydrogenation can reduce nitrobenzenes, the reduction is nonselective in the presence of other functional groups. For instance, if nitrobenzene contains an aldehyde group,...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
