Аннотация:The recognition properties of cucurbit[8] uril (CB8) toward nitronyl nitroxide 2-(2-benzimidazolyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolidinyl- 3-oxide-1-oxy (1) and its hydrochloride have been investigated. 1 center dot HCl led to 1: 1 inclusion complex [1 center dot HCl@CB8], which was characterized both in solution and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In this compound only the tetramethylimidazolidinyl fragment is included in the host. The magnetic behavior of the complex corresponds to a Curie law with a large separation of the spin carriers in the solid. In contrast, an insoluble species exhibiting ferromagnetic behavior is formed when pure 1 reacts with acid-free CB8. The formula [(1)(2)@(CB8)(3)], in which two radical guests are arranged in such a way that the phenyl groups of the benzimidazolyl substituents are both stacked into one CB8 and the tetramethyl fragments are each capped by a terminal macrocycle, is proposed, in agreement with microanalysis, spectrophotometric, EPR, and magnetic measurements. According to McConnell's rules, the alternating spin densities within the stacked aromatic fragments result in a ferromagnetic interaction (J(-) + 2.3 cm(-1), H = -2JS(1)S(2)) and a triplet ground spin state for the inclusion complex.
