J. Sedo et al., COEXISTENCE OF FERROMAGNETIC COUPLING AND INTRAMOLECULAR ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN A PURELY ORGANIC MIXED-VALENCE MOLECULE WITH A TRIPLET GROUND-STATE, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 306, 1997, pp. 125-132
The magnetic study of a purely organic biradical anion presenting elec
tron transfer and ferromagnetic coupling between two radical centers s
imultaneously is discussed. The mixed-valence molecule was first gener
ated electrochemically and the electron transfer was detected by optic
al spectroscopy. ESR measurements not only made the determination of t
he ground state possible, but also gave further evidence of transient
site-localisation of the extra electron.
