We describe the structural features and magnetic properties of two polynuclear copper(II) complexes containing a redox-active ligand. These neutral complexes each bear the formula RLCu (R = Bu, Me) with the ligand in a dianion-aminyl radical oxidation state. X-ray data and density functional theory calculations support an aminyl-type radical character in these complexes, making these the first polynuclear metal aminyl radical complexes.
我们描述了两个含有氧化还原活性配体的多核铜（II）配合物的结构特征和磁性。这些中性配合物各自具有RLCu（R=Bu，Me）的化学式，其中配体处于二阴离子-氨自由基氧化态。X 射线数据和密度泛函理论计算支持这些配合物中存在氨型自由基特征，这使其成为首批多核金属氨自由基配合物。
