Polymeric Blatter's Radical via CuAAC and ROMP

A Blatter radical-containing polymer backbone is synthesized via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and consecutive ring-opening metathesis polymerization. For this, an alkyne-functionalized radical used for the described CuAAC, yielding a polymerizable derivative of radical. The resulting electrochemically investigated in cyclic voltammetry experiments, paving way possible utilization triazinyl radicals all-organic batteries. Furthermore, simple modification alkyne bond makes further derivatization easily accessible.
