Abstract

A supramolecular assembly of [p-MePyNN]2[Au(CN)2]2 (1) (p-MePyNN+ = 2-(4-N-methylpyridinium)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazo-1-oxyl-3-oxide radical cation) has been synthesized from the combination of p-N-methylpyridinium nitronyl nitroxide radical cations and [Au(CN)2] anions, and characterized structurally as well as magnetically. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic, space group P212121 , with two independent p-MePyNN+ cations separated from each other by the dimer . The magnetic study shows that the larger steric hindrance of [Au(CN)2] anion influences the magnetic interactions between the radical cations, with very weak antiferromagnetic interactions.
