Transition metal hexafluoroacetylacetonate complexes of a nitroxide be
aring a beta-hydrogen, N-oxy-N-tert-butyl-(2-pyridyl)phenylmethanamine
(2-PyBNO), were synthesized and characterized. X-ray analysis of the
metal-nitroxide complexes M(2-PyBNO)(hfac)(2), where M(II) = Mn (1), C
o (2), and Ni (3), revealed a distorted octahedral coordination geomet
ry for the three metal centers. All complexes are isostructural and tr
iclinic, P (1) over bar. Crystal data: 1, a = 7.996(2) Angstrom, b = 1

s over a temperature range of 2-300 Ii for complexes I and 3 showed an
tiferromagnetic coupling between the nitroxide and metal nucleus unpai
red electrons, with -J = 57(1) cm(-1) for 1 and -J = 181(15) cm(-1) fo

red at g = 2.000 for 1 and a doubler with g(1) = 2.299, g(2) = 2.243,
and g(3) = 2.193 for 3.
