Synthesis and characterisation of several di-, tri-, and tetra- Radicals linked by flexible or rigid linkers

Abstract

This paper reports the synthesis of eight new polyradicals (di-, tri-, and tetra- stable radicals) linked by flexible (aliphatic) or rigid (aromatic) units. Their preparation, as well as their electron paramagnetic resonance characteristics are described and discussed. These polyradicals were successfully tested as spin-labels for gold nanoparticles. ©ARKAT USA, Inc.
