Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies on Triarylamine-Polychlorotriphenylmethyl Dyads with Particularly Strong Triarylamine Donors

We present two new donor-acceptor dyads composed of a polychlorotriphenylmethyl radical (PTM.) as the acceptor (A) and bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)(phenyl)amine (TPAN) or 2,2’:6’,2’’:6’’,6-trioxytriphenylamine (TOTA) as particularly electron-rich triarylamine (TAA) donors (D). We assessed their electrochemical properties and electronic structures by cyclic voltammetry, UV/vis/NIR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. By establishing the spectroscopic fingerprints of the oxidized and reduced forms, we probe for the possible coexistence of a zwitterionic TAA+-PTM? valence tautomer (VT), besides neutral TAA-PTM.. UV/vis/NIR and EPR spectroscopic studies at variable temperature and in various solvents however provide no indication for such equilibria. Quantitative spin counting experiments by EPR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations indicate that the one-electron oxidized forms of these dyads possess an open-shell singlet ground state which is energetically slightly below the triplet state.

The high chemical passivity of the so-called "inert free radicals" (IFRs), particularly those derived from perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM), has allowed one to ascertain the kinetic influence of the free radical character on the reactivity of their nonradic
