A series of bisverdazyl biradicals in which the atoms bearing the greatest spin density are separated by several different aromatic spacer groups has been prepared in order to compare their properties to those of the nonspaced 1,1',5,5'-tetramethy1-6,6'-dioxo-3,3'-bisverdazyl (1). In addition, the 6,6'-dithio derivative (1,1',5,5'-tetramethyl-6,6'-dithio-3,3'-bis (7)) was prepared. Cyclic voltammograms of 1,4-bis(1,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-5-verdazyl)benzene (5) and 2,5-bis(1,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-3-verdazyl)thiophene (6) both show a single two-electron oxidation near 700 mV. In contrast 1, 7, and 1,3-bis(1,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-3-verdazyl)benzene (4) display two one-electron oxidation waves, with the first oxidative wave appearing also near 700 mV. The absorption spectrum of each of these biradicals was red-shifted from the maximum observed for 1. Biradicals 4, 5, and 6 exhibited linear Curie plots, although a curved Curie plot was observed for 7 with J = 560 cm(-1).
