Abstract:
Polyarylamine containing meta-para-para-aniline units in the main chain and meta-para-aniline units in the pendant chains was synthesized. The polymer can be oxidized to radical cations in chemical or electrochemical ways. The presence of meta-phenylenes in the polymer chemical structure allows for the ferromagnetic coupling of electronic spins, which leads to the formation of high spin states. Detailed pulsed-EPR study indicates that the S = 2 spin state was reached for the best oxidation level. Quantitative magnetization measurements reveal that the doped polymer contains mainly S = 2 spin states and a fraction of S = 3/2 spin states. The efficiency of the oxidation was determined to be 74%. To the best of our knowledge, this polymer is the first example of a linear doped polyarylamine combining such high spin states with high doping efficiency.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
