Abstract
A study on electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopic determination of exchange interactions in organic oligoradicals is given. When the intramolecular exchange couplingJ between, unpaired electron spins in nitroxide-based oligoradicals falls within the order of 10 Oe (1 mK or 10−3 cm−1 forg=2), which is on the same order as the hyperfine couplingA of magnetic nuclei such as nitrogen atoms of nitroxide radicals, the magnitude ofJ can be determined from the hyperfine splitting pattern of ESR spectra in solutions. This range of the exchange couplingJ is not detectable in conventional magnetic susceptibility measurements. We demonstrate an application of hyperfine ESR spectroscopy as a probe for the exchange coupling to a series of organic oligoradicals, which the authors have recently developed as building blocks for molecule-based magnetic materials.
