Structure Determination from Powder X‐Ray Diffraction Data of a Hydrogen‐Bonded Molecular Solid with Competing Ferromagnetic and Antiferromagnetic Interactions: The 2‐(3,4‐Dihydroxyphenyl)‐α‐Nitronyl Nitroxide Radical

Abstract

A Single crystal was not needed for the structure determination of radical 1. This is the first time that structure of a purely organic molecule having only s and p electrons and with more than ten atoms the unit cell was obtained from powder X-ray diffraction data. The structure is in agreement with expected from the magnetic properties of 1.
