Table 5. CE-B3LYP interaction energies and J AB exchange couplings for the nine radical pairs in p-(methylthio)phenyl nitronyl nitroxide considered by Deumal et al. (2004 ▸). CE-B3LYP energies and exchange couplings were computed for three crystal geometries at 10 (CSD refcode YUJNEW12), 114 (YUJNEW11) and 298 K [YUJNEW, with H atoms added using Mercury (Macrae et al., 2008 ▸)].
Centroid distances in Å, interaction energies in kJ mol−1 and exchange couplings in cm−1. Estimated uncertainties are ∼1 kJ mol−1 in E tot and ∼0.02 cm−1 for J AB.
