Abstract

AbstractSeries of organic biradical compounds 3a–3h consisting of a mesogenic core (biphenyl, naphthalene, azobenzene and azoxybenzene) and long alkoxy groups with PROXYL or TEMPO radicals were prepared. The TEMPO derivatives (3b, 3d, 3f, and 3h) were found to show fairly large antiferromagnetic interactions (J = −34 ∼ −45 K) being well expressed by singlet‐triplet model irrespective of the mesogenic cores and the behavior is understandable by taking a hand‐in‐hand like assembled structure into consideration. On the other hand, only weak antiferromagnetic interactions with Curie–Weiss behavior were observed in all of the PROXYL derivatives (3a, 3c, 3e, and 3d) affording a sharp contrast with the TEMPO‐based biradicals.
