Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of a biradical containing a 1,3-bisdiphenylene-2-phenylallyl (BDPA) free radical covalently attached to a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) free radical are described. The synthesis of the biradical is a step toward improved polarizing agents for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP).

140 GHz echo-detected solid-state EPR spectra of 9 (black), TEMPO (red), and BDPA (blue) in toluene. Experiments are performed at 20 K, with tp(π/2) = 44 ns, and typically 100 scans are averaged for each point.
