The spin-exchange rate of three kinds of hydrophobic nitroxide radicals with paramagnetic ions, Ni2+ ions, was measured in an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution at 30 °C. In the presence of SDS micelles, two of the three radicals had their spin-exchange rates accelerated, whereas the rate of the other radical was deaccelerated. These strange results were interpreted on the basis

Details of a novel technique for direct real-time measurement of the primary radical concentrations generated in pulsed laser photolysis (PLP) experiments ate presented. The method takes advantage of the large increase in fluorescence quantum yield that occurs when a nitroxide containing a suitable fluorophore couples with a carbon-centered radical. The technique is applied to PLP experiments which involve photolysis of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) or azobis(methyl isobutyrate) (AIBMe) in the presence of 4-(1-naphthoyloxy)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (NTEMPO). In these experiments, the method is shown to be capable of reliably measuring transient radical concentrations of less than 10(-7) M. Various side reactions that might complicate the technique are considered and shown not to be of significance. The concentration of radicals generated per pulse is shown to have a linear dependence on [AIBN], [AIBMe], and laser energy per pulse (and is shown to be independent of [NTEMPO]) over a wide range of conditions encompassing those typically encountered in PLP polymerization experiments. The concentration of radicals generated per pulse increases with increasing temperature, reflecting changes in the quantum yield for radical generation. The rate of intramolecular fluorescence quenching of NTEMPO in benzene was determined to be in the range 2-4 x 10(10) s(-1).

Fluorescent polyolefins by free radical post-reactor modification with functional nitroxides
The 4-(1-naphthoate)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (NfO-TEMPO) has been synthesized and successfully grafted in the melt onto a random poly(ethylene-co-1-ottene) copolymer. Functionalized polyolefins have been prepared by coupling reaction between NfO-TEMPO free radicals and macroradicals which have been formed by H-abstraction induced by the presence of a peroxide. In order to deepen insight into the functionalization mechanism, the reaction has been investigated by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). EPR spectra collected during the reaction run, have evidenced the decrease of TEMPO signal as a consequence of temperature increasing. This decrease has been attributed to the formation of a covalent bond between macroradicals and nitroxide free radical. The resulting functionalized polyolefins. PO-g-(NfO-TEMPO), have been characterized by FT-IR and H-1 NMR which has allowed to evaluate their functionalization degree, whereas UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to investigate their optical properties. The comparison with low molecular weight model compounds, has allowed to state that our methodology can be conveniently adopted to prepare fluorescent polyolefins where the optical properties of the chromophore has been completely transferred to polymer backbone both in solution and in the condensed phase.
