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.

|J AB| ≤ 10−2 according to Deumal et al. (2004).

Not reported by Deumal et al. (2004); presumably small.
