title: Synthesis of multitopic verdazyl radical ligands. Paramagnetic supramolecular synthons.
abstract: [structure: see text] The syntheses of several verdazyl radical and diradicals containing pyridine-based multitopic coordination sites are described. These compounds were designed to be paramagnetic analogues of oligopyridine metallosupramolecular building blocks.
