Abstract

We successfully synthesized and characterized two precursors for paramagnetic chelating ligands, N-p-anisyl-N-2-pyridylhydroxylamine and 2,6-bis(N-t-butylhydroxylamino)pyridine. The former can be regarded as a rare case since N,N-diarylhydroxylamines cannot be isolated in general because of facile autoxidation. The oxidation with silver(I) oxide gave radicals showing typical nitroxide ESR signals, but the resultant radicals were unstable under ambient conditions. Theoretical DFT calculation indicated that the bisnitroxide radical, pyridine-2,6-diyl bis(t-butyl nitroxide), had a triplet ground state.
