Stable homotopy as a triangulated functor

Let \({\mathcal S}\) denote the stable category of spectra and \({\mathcal D} \mathbb{Z} [\frac 12]\) the derived category of \(Z[\frac 12]\)-modules. The author constructs a triangulated functor \(\Pi:{\mathcal S} \to {\mathcal D} \mathbb{Z} [\frac 12]\) lifting the stable homotopy group functor with 2 inverted. As a triangulated functor having this property \(\Pi\) is unique up to natural isomorphism. It is constructed as a right adjoint of the Moore spectrum functor \({\mathcal D} \mathbb{Z} [\frac 12] \to {\mathcal S} [\frac 12]\). Functors of this kind have previously been considered by \textit{A. Heller} [Proc. Conf. Categor. Algebra, La Jolla 1965, 355-365 (1966; Zbl 0188.284)]. The functor \(\Pi\) is compatible with the smash and tensor product: there is a natural transformation \(\mu_{X,Y}:\Pi (X) \otimes \Pi (Y) \to \Pi (X \wedge Y)\). \(\Pi\) cannot be a monoidal functor (the Moore spectrum of \(\mathbb{Z}/3\) provides a counterexample), but if 6 is inverted the diagram \[ \begin{tikzcd} [column sep = 2cm]\Pi (X) \otimes \Pi (Y) \otimes \Pi (Z) \ar[r,"\mu_{X,Y} \otimes id"]\ar[d,"id \otimes \mu_{Y,Z}"'] & \pi (X \wedge Y) \otimes \Pi (Z) \ar[d,"\mu_{X \wedge Y,Z}"]\\ \Pi (X) \otimes \Pi (Y \wedge Z)) \ar[r,"\mu_{X,Y \wedge Z}"'] & \Pi (X \wedge Y \wedge Z) \end{tikzcd} \] commutes.
