Verdazyl Radical, a Building Block for a Six-Spin-Center 2p-3d-4f Single-Molecule Magnet

The versatile verdazyl family provides a new member as its reduced form 1,5-dimethy1-3-[3'-(hy droxymethyl)-2'-pyridine]-6-oxotetrazane (H(3)vdpyCH(2)OH). Upon oxidation and deprotonation in the presence of the acetate salts of Coll and Dill, the vdpyCH(2)OH radical is able to self-assemble [(vdpy-CH2O)(2)Co(2)Dy(2)ac(8)] (Hac = HO(2)CCH3), a 2p-3d-4f cluster displaying single-molecule-magnet properties.
