Stable Oxindolyl‐Based Analogues of Chichibabin's and Müller's Hydrocarbons

Abstract: Chichibabinsa nd Müllersh ydrocarbons are classical open-shell singlet diradicaloids but they are highly reactive.H erein we report the successful synthesis of their respective stable analogues, OxR-2 and OxR-3,b ased on the newly developed oxindolyl radical. X-ray crystallographic analysis on OxR-2 reveals ap lanar quinoidal backbone similar to Chichibabinsh ydrocarbon, in accordance with its small diradical character (y 0 = 11.1 %) and large singlet-triplet gap (DE S-T = À10.8 kcal mol À1 ). Variable-tempera… Show more

“…This indicates that this site should be a prime target for substitution with bromine or chlorine atoms: substitution would decrease the hyperfine contribution and hinder the mesithyl rotation. This result also confirms the previous assignments on different p-delocalized paramagnetic structures with unresolved electron spin dipolar interactions, [26][27][28][29][30]34,[66][67][68][69] and is consistent with the previous observation of dipolar coupling solely in small radicaloids. 19,35 Trends reported for linear acenes show that the value of the dipolar coupling strongly decreases when increasing the length of the molecule, 70,71 and this agrees perfectly with our observations and the lack of a half-field line.…”

“…Electronic Structure and Fluorescent Property of Dimers. As is well known that free radical molecules are generally unstable, 31 two free radicals tend to form a dimer by the central head-to-head C−C bond to attenuate reactivity. 32,33 Thus, we investigated the dimers composed of both the title molecules.…”

“…As is well known that free radical molecules are generally unstable, two free radicals tend to form a dimer by the central head-to-head C–C bond to attenuate reactivity. , Thus, we investigated the dimers composed of both the title molecules. To obtain the stable geometry of the dimer of TTM-3NCz and TTM-3PCz, the relaxing potential energy scan was performed at the UB3LYP/6-31+G­(d) level for each dimer.…”
