MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF 1,5-DIMETHYLVERDAZYL RADICALS .1. EVIDENCE FOR THE FERROMAGNETIC EXCHANGE INTERACTION IN 3-(4-CHLOROPHENYL)-1,5-DIMETHYL-6-THIOXOVERDAZYL RADICAL SOLID
Magnetic susceptibilities of 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-6-thioxoverdazyl (p-CDTV) and 3-(4-bromophenyl)-6-thioxoverdazyl (p-BDTV) radicals have been measured in the temperature range between 4.0 and 300 K. The susceptibility of p-CDTV follows the Curie-Weiss law with a Curie constant of 0.381 K emu/mol and a positive Weiss constant of theta = +3.2 K, suggesting intermolecular ferromagnetic exchange interaction between neighboring radicals. On the other hand, the magnetic susceptibility of p-BDTV exhibits a broad maximum at 26.5 K. This susceptibility can be explained by the one-dimensional Heisenberg model with negative exchange interaction of 2J/k = -41.3 K.
