The crystal structures and magnetic properties of heterocyclic thiazyl radicals and related materials have been examined. TTTA (=1,3,5-trithia-2,4,6-triazapentalenyl) exhibited a first-order phase transition between a paramagnetic high-temperature (HT) phase and a diamagnetic low-temperature (LT) phase, with a wide thermal hysteresis loop over the temperature range 230-305 K. The phase control of TTTA was achieved by pressure and by light irradiation. BDTA (=1,3,2-benzodithiazolyl) also exhibited a diamagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition above room temperature. However, fresh samples always exhibited a superheating of the LT phase that resulted in a double melting (melt-recrystallization-melt process) and supercooling of the HT phase, which in turn led to an antiferromagnetic ordering at 11 K. The molecular compounds of thiazyl radicals were prepared; TTTA formed a coordination polymer structure in the TTTA Á (M ¼ Ga and Fe), exhibited ferromagnetic ordering at 7 K and ferrimagnetic ordering at 44 K after evaporation of crystal solvents. We also grew crystals of M-TTDPz (TTDPz = tetrakis(thiadiazole)porphyrazine and M ¼ H 2 , Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and performed their structural analyses. Their crystal structures were found to depend strongly on the central metal ion and could be classified into three forms: , , and .The electrical and magnetic properties of molecular crystals have been studied extensively in the past three decades, and various molecule-based conductors, superconductors, and magnetic materials have been synthesized to date. The research has been characterized by the enhancement of dimensionality in intermolecular interactions. The first molecular metal, TTF-TCNQ, exhibited a Peierls transition due to instability of the 1D conducting pathway formed by the -overlap.
