Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a novel complex Ni(NIT2-thz)3(ClO4)2

A novel Ni(II)-nitronyl nitroxide-substituted thiazole complex Ni(NIT2-thz)3(ClO4)2 (NIT2-thz = 2-(2′-thiazole)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) was synthesized and characterized structurally. Magnetic measurements show that there are two kinds of magnetic interactions in the complex.
