Coronene is the smallest homologue of benzene and is the smallest fragment of graphene among 6-fold symmetric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, we obtained the first coronene cation radical solid containing magnetic counterions by an electrochemical method. Coronene monocations in the 1:1 salt, (coronene•+)(FeBr4–), assemble in a stacking manner via π–π interactions, which lead to a rather high room-temperature conductivity of 0.6 S cm–1. The salt shows semiconducting behavior as expected from the calculated band structure, and activation energies were estimated to be 0.25 eV atT≥ 220 K and 0.18 eV atT≤ 220 K. The magnetic susceptibility follows the Curie–Weiss law down to about 30 K, with a Curie constant (4.47 emu K mol–1) expected forS= 5/2 spins of iron(III) ions and a high Weiss temperature (−32.2 K). Upon further cooling, the salt exhibits a susceptibility kink at 16.2 K followed by the loss of a significant fraction of the susceptibility due to long-range antiferromagnetic ordering. Theoretical calculations predicted that the indirect π–d magnetic exchange interaction through C–H···Br hydrogen bonds is equal toJπd= −3.10 K. Although the absolute value is lower than that of the direct d–d magnetic exchange interaction between the FeBr4–anions (Jdd= −13.35 K), it is evident that the π–d interactions play a certain role in determining the magnetic behavior. Considering that an isomorphous salt, (coronene•+)(GaBr4–) involving a nonmagnetic counterpart GaBr4–, exhibits singlet–triplet magnetic behavior with a spin gap of 1.44 × 103K, it is most likely that in (coronene)(FeBr4) the nonmagnetic π-electrons serve as mediators of the magnetic ordering of d-spins through the π–d interactions.
