title: Crystallography and magnetism of radicals with hindered hydroxyl groups: 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl and 2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1-oxyl.
abstract: Radicals form networks of OH... ON and OH...Me(nitroxide) interactions. In 2, a frustrated network forms with insufficient N-O units to form extended chain interactions. The magnetism of 1 fits a 1-D Heisenberg model with J/k=-25 J mol(-1), while 2 shows more complex exchange behaviour consistent with its disordered crystal lattice.
