We successfully synthesized, for the first time, a naphthalene diimide (NDI) radical and diradical by simple chemical oxidation using lead(IV) dioxide. The formation of the (di)radical is confirmed by UV/Vis/NIR absorption, H NMR, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. In particular, temperature-dependent EPR, SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) measurements, and quantum calculations demonstrated that the generated NDI diradical has a singlet diradical character of y=0.69 in the ground state. Subsequent characterization of this (di)radical revealed its stabilities, large two-photon absorption cross-section, and short excited-state lifetime.
我们首次通过使用二氧化铅进行简单化学氧化成功合成了萘二亚胺(NDI)自由基和双自由基。通过紫外/可见/近红外吸收、¹H NMR和电子顺磁共振(EPR)测量证实了(双)自由基的形成。特别是,变温EPR、超导量子干涉装置(SQUID)测量和量子计算表明,所生成的NDI双自由基在基态具有y = 0.69的单重双自由基特征。对该(双)自由基的后续表征揭示了其稳定性、大的双光子吸收截面和短的激发态寿命。
