We report the preparation of multi-component molecules based on pyridine-,
bipyridine- and pyrene-substituted nitronyl nitroxide (NIT) radicals. The s
ynthetic protocol is based on a Pd(0) promoted cross-coupling reaction betw
een 6-BrPyNIT and either 6-HC drop CPyNIT, diethynyl substituted bipyridine
s, or 1-ethynylpyrene derivatives. The magnetic properties and X-ray struct
ures of the pyridine (Py) and pyrene-based bi- and monoradicals are describ
ed briefly. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
