Synthesis and coordination chemistry of a water-soluble verdazyl radical. structures and magnetic properties of M(H2O)2(vdCO2)(2).2H2O (M = Co, Ni; vdCO2 = 1,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-verdazyl-3-carboxylate).
The synthesis of a verdazyl radical with a carboxylate substituent renders the radical highly soluble in water, thereby permitting the aqueous synthesis of Ni(II) and Co(II) verdazyl complexes which have been structurally and magnetically characterized.
