Abstract

New nitroxide biradicals 15NR6–C≡C–(p-C6H4)2–C≡C–14NR6 (B2) and 15NR6–C≡C–(p-C6H4)2–C≡C–15NR6 (B3), where R6 denotes 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl–1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine ring, are synthesized and studied in liquid solutions by continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Hyperfine interaction constants and exchange integrals are determined from the simulation and fitting of experimental spectra and calculated ones. The best fitting of the EPR spectra detected in experiments and their temperature dependence was achieved under the assumption that the biradicals perform transitions between conformations with different exchange integrals. The conformation of about 75% of biradicals has the exchange integral |\(J\)| = 4.4 G. Thus, the ground electronic state of these biradicals has the conformation with |\(J\)| = 4.4 G. About 20% of biradicals have the conformation with the zero exchange integral. A minor fraction of biradicals have conformations with |\(J\)| = 11.2 G and |\(J\)| = 57 G. The activation energy for the transition from the conformation with |\(J\)| = 4.4 G to the conformation with \(J\) = 0 is 8.5 kcal/mol, while that for the reverse reaction is 1.7 kcal/mol. It is shown that the isotope substitution provides a valuable resource in the EPR studies of the exchange interaction in biradicals.
