Urazolyl radicals are a class of persistent nitrogen-centered radicals. In previous work, we successfully formed self-assembled monolayers substituted urazolyl on gold surfaces. To extend the scope these investigations, sought to form monolayer using radical species that knew existed predominantly in dimerized N-N instead existing as free N-centered species, had previously been investigated. We synthesized precursor urazole compound needed generate desired radical, and completely characterized its structure. Most importantly, it was determined alkyne functional group is adhere surface remained intact. Unfortunately, however, only obtained ambiguous results from attempts at forming this gold.
