Preparation, Structural Characterization, and Thermochemistry of an Isolable 4-Arylphenoxyl Radical

چکیده
The preparation and full characterization of the 4-(nitrophenyl)phenoxyl radical, 2,6-di-(t)butyl-4-(4'-nitrophenyl) phenoxyl radical ((t)Bu2NPArO(•)) is described. This is a rare example of an isolable and crystallographically characterized phenoxyl radical and is the only example in which the parent phenol is also crystallographically well-defined. Analysis of EPR spectra indicates some spin delocalization onto the secondary aromatic ring and nitro group. Equilibrium studies show that the corresponding phenol has an O-H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of 77.8 ± 0.5 kcal mol(-1) in MeCN (77.5 ± 0.5 kcal mol(-1) in toluene). This value is higher than related isolated phenoxyl radicals, making this a useful reagent for hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) studies. Additional thermochemical and spectroscopic parameters are also discussed.

متن کاملSurface-initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization and Solution Intercalation Methods for Preparation of Cellulose-G-PS-G-PAN/MMT Bionanocomposite
Cellulose was modified by polystyrene (PS) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) via free radical and living radical polymerization, and then cellulose was used as the matrix in the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposite, through a solution intercalation method. For this purpose, first, the graft polymerization of styrene (St) onto cellulose fibers was performed by using suspension polymerization and ...
