Abstract:
The high-resolution 1H and 13C NMR spectra (CHCl3 solution) of sterically non-rigid heterospin complexes CoL2, CoL2-dipy, and CoL2-phen (where L is 4-(3',3',3'-trifluoro-2'-oxopropylidene)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-imidazolidine-1-oxyl) have been studied. The specific of the NMR phenomenon in paramagnetic systems is briefly analyzed. It is shown that the NMR spectra modified by hyperfine coupling can be successfully employed for investigation of the complexation processes. In accordance with the common protocols, the 1H and 13C NMR signals are assigned using the information on 13С - 1Н spin-spin coupling. In addition, the preliminarily recorded 1H and 13C NMR spectra of radical L are also used in the work. The temperature dependences of 1H and 13C paramagnetic shifts in the complexes under study have been obtained. A fundamental feature of these dependences is that they obey to the Curie law in a fairly wide temperature range (up to 100 °C). This observation can be used to control intramolecular processes of sterically nonrigid heterosystems in solutions.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...
