Strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are observed between M(ii) ions and the two S = 1/2 radicals (M = Mn, Co), whereas weak antiferromagnetic interactions are observed between radicals when using the diamagnetic Zn(ii) ion. Strong intermolecular exchange coupling is also evident in Mn(hfac)(2)(MBDTA)(2) and attributed to pi*-pi* contacts between MBDTA radicals which are absent for the Co and Zn derivatives.2019http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/11977510.1039/c9cc04271ghttp://zaguan.unizar.es/record/119775oai:zaguan.unizar.es:119775info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/M4info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PGC2018-099024-B-I00Chemical Communications 55, 66 (2019), 9849-9852All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
