A bimodal dithiadiazolyl diradical: crystal structure and magnetic properties of the 2,2 '-dimethylbiphenylene bridged derivative

by Barclay, T. M.; Cordes, A. W.; George, N. A.; Haddon, R. C.; Itkis, M. E.; Oakley, R. T.

The two termini of the torsionally strained dithiadiazolyl diradical S2N2C-C6H3Me-MeC6H3-CN2S2 3 possess different solid state structural environments; the bulk magnetic susceptibility of 3 is interpreted in terms of the distinct properties of the two radical centres.
