- ItemQuinoidal Azaacenes: 99 % Diradical Character(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020) Intorp, S.N.; Hodecker, M.; Müller, M.; Tverskoy, O.; Rosenkranz, M.; Dmitrieva, E.; Popov, A.A.; Rominger, F.; Freudenberg, J.; Dreuw, A.; Bunz, U.H.F.Quinoidal azaacenes with almost pure diradical character (y=0.95 to y=0.99) were synthesized. All compounds exhibit paramagnetic behavior investigated by EPR and NMR spectroscopy, and SQUID measurements, revealing thermally populated triplet states with an extremely low-energy gap ΔEST′ of 0.58 to 1.0 kcal mol−1. The species are persistent in solution (half-life≈14–21 h) and in the solid state they are stable for weeks.
