31. 3 groups is negative, whereas these on the H atoms of a phenyl ring linked to the α carbon of the five-membered ring are alternated in their sign, being positive for ortho and para H atom, and negative for the meta one.

33. In this study we deliberately discarded those crystals not showing dominant magnetic interactions as they would not help to establish a clear structure-magnetism correlation. The nature of the dominant magnetic interactions is clearly manifested by the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility (χ) in the 2-300 K range. Thus crystals with dominant ferromagnetic interaction have χT vs. T curves in which χT continuously increases when T decreases (see [1]).
