Magnetic interaction between the triplet centers in ethynylenebis(phenylnitrenes) and 1,3-butadiyne-1,4-diylbis(phenylnitrenes)
摘要:
The magnetic interaction of the two triplet phenylnitrene units linked together through an acetylene or a diacetylene linkage has been investigated by ESR spectroscopy. Two regioisomeric (meta,para' and meta,meta') diazides of 1,2-diphenylacetylene 12a and 1,4-diphenyl- 1,3-butadiyne 13a were prepared and photolyzed in a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran glass at 10 K to give the corresponding dinitrenes 12n and 13n. The m,p'-dinitrenes of 12n and 13n showed intense quintet signals which obeyed a Curie law in the temperature range 12-85 K. The m,m'-dinitrenes of 12n and 13n showed signals due to the thermally populated quintet states, the intensities of which reached a maximum at 50 and 28 K for 12n and 13n, respectively. It is concluded that the two remote phenylnitrene units in 12n and 13n interact sufficiently strongly through bonds to form quintet states that are concluded to be the ground state in the meta,para' isomers as predicted by theory. In the meta,meta' isomers, the quintet states are thermally populated from ground singlet states, the energy gaps between the two states (ca. 200 and 100 cal/mol for -C = C- and -C = C-C = C-, respectively) being dependent reasonably upon the distance between the two moieties. The results serve as good guiding principles for designing high-spin conjugated polymers with pendant radical centers.
