Abstract

4-[(3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxo-cyclohexa-2, 5-dienylidene)methyl]styrene (abbreviated as (p-vinylphenyl)hydrogalvinoxyl) was polymerized using AIBN as an initiator to give a bright yellow polymer with M̄w = 3.2 × 104. The polymer was oxidized to give the corresponding polyradical derivative, whose spin concentration could be increased up to about 70 mol % depending on oxidative conditions. ESR signal line-width in the solid state was greatly increased below 200 K for the polyradical with a high spin concentration (> 50 mol %). The magnetization and magnetic susceptibility indicated weak antiferromagnetic interaction among the radical sites.
