Abstract

AbstractThe present article describes the synthesis and magnetic properties of poly(phenylacetylene) (3) with pi‐toporegulated pendant stable 4,4,5,5‐tetramethylimidazolin‐3‐oxide‐1‐yloxyl radicals topologically participating in the pi‐conjugated system of poly(phenylacetylene). Polyradical 3 was prepared by the condensation reaction of poly(p‐ethynylbenzaldehyde) with 2,3‐bis(hydroxylamino)‐2,3‐dimethylbutane followed by oxidation with lead dioxide. The spin concentration of 3 determined by the ESR spectroscopic method was 1.1 × 1021 spins/g. This value approximately corresponds to 0.5 unpaired electron spin per the repeating unit. A powder ESR spectrum of 3 gave a 100% Lorentzian single line showing spin‐exchange narrowing. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement of 3 afforded a straight line with a positive slope, suggesting that 3 has predominant paramagnetic properties within an experimental error.
