Unprecedented neutral perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide (PBI) radicals and biradicals were synthesized by facile chemical oxidation of 4-hydroxyaryl-substituted PBIs. Subsequent characterization by optical and magnetic spectroscopic techniques, as well as quantum chemical calculations, revealed an open-shell singlet biradical ground state for the PBI biradical OS-2(..) (〈s(2)〉=1.2191) with a relatively small singlet-triplet energy gap of 0.041 eV and a large singlet biradical character of y=0.72.
通过简便的化学氧化方法,合成了前所未有的中性苝-3,4:9,10-四羧酸双酰亚胺(PBI)自由基和双自由基。通过光学和磁性光谱技术以及量子化学计算进行的后续表征表明,PBI 双自由基 OS-2(..)(〈s(2)〉=1.2191)具有开壳层单重态双自由基基态,具有相对较小的单重态-三重态能隙为 0.041eV 和较大的单重态双自由基特征 y=0.72。
