The syntheses of high-spin organic polymers have been a daunting task due to the highly reactive nature of organic radicals, especially when they are ferromagnetically coupled. In this paper, we report our approach to obtain high-spin organic polymers, in which a reasonably stable fluorenyl radical was employed as the primary radical unit, and -triazine serves as the connector that facilitates ferromagnetic coupling between them. Initially, the diamagnetic polymer precursor was synthesized by cyclotrimerization of a cyano-monomer. Subsequently, the high-spin polymers were obtained by oxidizing corresponding anionic polymers using O (6) or I (7). The temperature-dependent magnetic moments, and field-dependent magnetization data obtained from SQUID measurements revealed ferromagnetic couplings between primary radical units, with coupling = 7.5 cm and 38.6 cm. The percentages of primary unit in the radical form are 29%, and 47% for 6 and 7, respectively. Notably, this marks the first reported instance of a high-spin fluorenyl radical polymer exhibiting ferromagnetic coupling.

The adsorption of the radical α,ɣ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl (BDPA) molecule to the Cu(100) surface was studied using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations accounting for dispersion forces. BDPA on Cu(100) was observed to align preferentially along directions due to weak Cu-C chemisorption between fluorenyl carbons with the underlying copper atoms. The curved shape of the BDPA molecule on Cu(100) can be ascribed to the lack of molecular orbital character on the phenyl substituent.

The influence of the electron density of a bridge connecting two redox centers on both the intervalence hole transfer and the magnetic superexchange was investigated in a series of bridged bis-triarylamine mono- and dications. In this series, the bridge was 2,7-fluorenyl, where the bridge electron density was modified by substituents at the 9-position. For the mixed-valence monocations, the observation of both an intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) band and an absorption band associated with an electron transfer from the bridging fluorene to the triarylamine radical cation centers allowed determination of the electron transfer couplings in the framework of the three-state generalized Mulliken-Hush theory.

The chemistry of -benzyne (-CH) is of fundamental importance due to its role as an essential molecular building block in molecular-weight growth reactions. Here, we report on an experimental investigation of the reaction of -CH with benzyl (CH) radicals in a well-controlled flash pyrolysis experiment using a resistively heated SiC microtubular reactor at temperatures of 800-1600 K and pressures near 30 torr. To this end, the reactants -CH and CH were pyrolytically generated from 1,2-diiodobenzene and benzyl bromide, respectively.

The present study reports an unprecedented protocol for the phosphonylation of unactivated C(sp)-H bonds. By utilizing 1 mol % 4DPAIPN (1,2,3,5-tetrakis(diphenylamino)-4,6-dicyanobenzene) as the catalyst, satisfactory yields of γ-phosphonylated amides are obtained through a visible-light-induced reaction between N-((4-cyanobenzoyl)oxy)alkanamides and 9-fluorenyl o-phenylene phosphite at room temperature. This protocol demonstrates broad substrate scope and wide functional group compatibility.
