Abstract:
Toward the synthesis and evaluation of stable radical-based 2D frameworks, a diacetylene-bridged tri(9-anthryl)methyl (TAntM) radical dimer was designed and synthesized. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed a strong spin-spin interaction between TAntM radical units through the diacetylene linker, resulting in a closed-shell [5]cumulene structure as the stable form. Variable-temperature (VT) 1H-NMR measurements at high temperatures showed signal broadening for aromatic protons, indicating an increased population of thermally excited triplet species as a metastable form. To facilitate spin-state modulation by external stimuli, mechanical grinding in the solid state was conducted. Due to its reactivity, mechanical grinding partially induced structural changes to radical species in the solid state.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the...
