Abstract

A series of bis-iminonitroxide diradical derivatives of different lengths and geometry have been prepared that incorporate a conjugated phenylene-ethynylene bridge as a rigid spacer. This paper describes the synthesis of these new components and their main characterizations. An unexpected singlet ground state and substituent effects on the singlet- triplet gap have been found for substituted “m-phenylene”-based diradicals. The effects of ...
