Magnetic properties and crystal structures of N-alkylpyridinium alpha-
nitronyl nitroxide cation radicals, has been studied. Some of them hav
e been found to have ferromagnetic intermolecular interaction which ar
e much stronger than those in the alpha-nitronyl nitroxide free radica
ls. Further, a m-N-methylpridinium alpha-nitronyl nitroxide salt cryst
allizes into a trigonal space group with a triangular lattice, which i
ncludes both of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions.
