Dithiazolyl (DTA) radicals are a family of π-stabilized radicals with low dimerization enthalpies, potentially well-suited for the construction of organic magnets and coordination complexes. Here we report recent studies on the synthesis and magnetic characterisation of new alkoxy-functionalized-benzo-dithiazolyl radicals which exhibits ferromagnetic interactions. Additionsl studies on DTA radicals has shown that the N atom can act as a coordinating ligand to 3d-metals and the structures and magnetic properties of a family of M(hfac)2(DTA)2 are discussed. Recent results are presented which show that these DTA radicals are capable of forming cocrystals with other families of organic radicals, augering well for the formation of new families of organic ferrimagnets.
