Abstract

Transition to a ferromagnetic long range ordered state was found at 0.60 K in the orthorhombic β-phase crystal of p-nitrophenyl nitronyl nitroxide (or 2-(4′-nitrophenyl)-4, 4, 5, 5-tetramethyl-4, 5-dihydro-lH-imidazol-1-oxyl-3-N-oxide in the IUPAC nomenclature). This finding provides the first example of an organic bulk ferromagnet consisting of light elements and having a definite molecular and crystal structure.
