the same common synthetic intermediate by DDQ (dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone) oxidation, demethyla-
tion and oxidation. All of these OPO s are very stable in air in the solid state for a few months. In addition,
8-hydro 43 and 8-( p -halophenyl) 45 derivatives of 6OPO were also designed and prepared. Both neutral
radicals are stable enough to handle in air in the solid state.
The electronic structures of TB4OPO and TB6OPO were investigated using solution EPR
1 H-ENDOR/
TRIPLE studies. Figure 3.35 shows the EPR spectra of 4OPO and 6OPO , and the hfccs determined in terms
of these spectra and quantum chemical calculations. The spin delocalized natures and “spin topological
symmetry control” phenomena predicted by theoretical calculations are experimentally demonstrated.
Figure 3.36b - d shows the possible tautomers of 7-hydroxy- TB6OPO depending on the delocalized
nature of the unpaired electron based on the 6OPO, 4OPO ,and 9OPO
