Isolation and characterization of the triradical 1,3,5-trimethylene-benzene
Neuhaus, Patrik,Sander, Wolfram
experimental part, p. 7277 - 7280 (2010/12/19)
The highly symmetrical quartet triradical trimethylenebenzene has been isolated for the first time (see structure). Despite its open-shell character, it was photo-chemically stable and this makes it a promising building block for magnetic materials. (Figure presented).
The mechanism of formation of m-xylylene type biradicals produced by photolysis of polymethyl benzenes or dihalomethyl benzenes

, p. 733 - 738 (2007/10/02)
The mechanism of formation of the mesitylylene biradical (3) produced by short-wavelength photolysis of matrix-isolated mesitylene (1) has been investigated. The data rule out a mechanism involving the sequential formation of the biradical 3 via photolysi
