Experimental.
General. All starting materials were purchased from commercial suppliers (Aldrich,
Acros, and Lancaster) and used without purification. The solvents were freshly distilled
or dried according to standard procedures before use. All reactions were monitored by
TLC performed on plastic-backed silica gel plates, and compounds were visualized under
UV light. For chromatography silica gel 60 was used. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were
recorded with a Bruker AMX spectrometer (300 MHz) . Chemical shifts are given in
parts per million (δ) downfield from Me4Si as the internal standard. FT-IR spectra were
measured as KBr pellets on a Perkin Elmer Spectrum One Spectrometer. Mass spectra
were recorded on a Finnigan 3300 or Kratos Concept II spectrometer using electron
impact EI sources. Electronic absorption spectroscopy was carried out on an Agilent 8453
UV-Vis spectrometer with photodiode array and Peltier temperature controller. Elemental
analyses were performed by Canadian Microanalytical Services, Desert Analytics, or
University of British Columbia.
Syntheses.
3-Vinylbenzaldehyde (2). A mixture of 3-bromobenzaldehyde (1.2 g, 6.5 mmol),
tributylethenylstannane (2.1 g, 6.5 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (150 mg, 0.13 mmol) in 25 mL
dried DMF was stirred at 100 ºC for 12 hours. After cooling to room temp, the mixture
was filtered and the filtrate was poured into water, and extracted with ethyl ether (3×50
mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4. After removal of the solvent,
the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (5% EtOAc in
hexanes) to give a colorless oil as the product (0.65 g, 4.9 mmol, 76%). 1H NMR (300

EPR Spectroscopy. EPR spectra were recorded on a Bruker EMX spectrometer in dilute
deoxygenated CH2Cl2 solution (~10-4 M) using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as
a standard. The spectra were simulated using the WinEPR SimFonia/WINSIM2002
program to give the hyperfine coupling constant with numerical fits (R2 values) of
0.995+. Superhyperfine with multiple hydrogen atoms are not well-resolved (hfcc < 1
Gauss), leading to an overall broadening of the spectrum. Combined with computational
spin densities, the hyperfine coupling constants for radicals were determined, and the spin
densities were calculated using the McConnell equation, with Q(N) = 28.6 G. Kadirov
and Neugebauer 1, 2 analyzed the parent radical 1,3-diphenyl-1,2,4-benzotriazinyl by
ENDOR and concluded that the coupling constants to aromatic hydrogen atoms varied
from aH = 0.23 G to aH = 1.93 G with some degree of error due to the complexity and
difficulty encountered in ENDOR brought about by relaxation of electronic and nuclear
spin systems, as well as the anisotropic character of this radical. In addition, they
concluded that the majority of spin density could be found at N1, with smaller and nearly
equal spin densities on N2 and N4 positions. This suggests that the electronic structure of
the ground state of the radical can best be described by resonance contributors I-III.
ENDOR studies of isotopically labeled 1,3-diphenyl-1,2,4-benzotriazinyl radical suggest
that the electronic structure of the ground state can be best described by a summation of

resonance structures I – III as shown below in which the largest spin density resides at
N1, with equivalent and smaller spin densities at N2 and N4 due to the contributions of
structures II and III. Computation of the ground state electronic structure of the parent
radical by DFT UB3LYP/6-311G+(d,p) suggests that the largest spin density is at N4
with smaller and equal spin densities at N1 and N2. While it is clear that DFT is not
getting the ground state electronic structure right, it is consistent with the source of the
problem being primarily that the radical has multireference character. Molecules with
low-lying excited or degenerate ground states (such as Jahn-Teller distortions) are
characterized by strong static electron correlation effects that require a multi-
configuration or multi-reference approach for an adequate treatment of the wavefunction.
Some evidence for this is provided by a preliminary CASSCF calculation of the radical
core, in which the spin densities are closer to that found by experiment. The parent
system itself however is too large for proper treatment by CASSCF or CASPT2, and
perhaps might be better treated with some of the newer DFT-CAS or double hybrid/triple
hybrid functionals, which we are in the process of investigating. This however, is work
in progress.

Cyclic Voltammetry Measurements. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were performed
with a Bioanalytical Systems CV 50 voltammetric analyzer with a glassy carbon disk as
the working electrode, a Pt wire as the counter electrode, and a Ag wire as a reference
electrode. The analyte solutions in acetonitrile (~1 mM) were placed in electrochemical
cell with 0.1 M Bu4NPF6 as supporting electrolyte. Samples were purged with Ar for 5-
10 min before the data was collected. Peak potentials were referenced to a Standard
Calomel Electrode (SCE) using ferrocene as an internal standard. The redox couple of
ferrocene was taken to be 0.40 V vs SCE in acetonitrile.

Magnetometry Measurements. Magnetization and static magnetic susceptibility
measurements were performed on a Quantum Design MPMS XL-5 system. The static DC
magnetic susceptibility was measured from 2 to 300 K at the field of 1 T on
polycrystalline samples. The contribution of diamagnetic susceptibility was estimated by
slope method and subtracted from the overall magnetic susceptibility. The corrected static
magnetic susceptibility data were fit to the relevant magnetic models by a self-consistent
approximation. For 1a, the diamagnetic contributions were estimated by the slope method
as -4.87×10-4 emu/mol (1a) and 6.96×10-4 emu/mol (1b) by the slope method. ICP-Fe
content measurement reveals Fe content of less than 1 ppm. Measurements were made on
at least 3 independently synthesized and prepared samples in order to assure that the
magnetic behavior observed was not due to the presence of impurities. Magnetic Data Fitting: The static field RSO magnetic susceptibility (χ = M/H) for a
polycrystalline sample of 1a was measured at 10,000 Oe over the temperature range of 2-300 K. Since the radical 1a forms 1D chains via π-π interactions along the b-axis, with interchain interactions, the linear Heisenberg model using the Pade approximant was used to analytically model the temperature dependence of the susceptibility.3

The Weiss approximation was used to account for small magnetic exchange coupling between chains (interchain) leading to an expression for the total calculated magnetic susceptibility as shown below for the expression for χ.

X-ray Crystallography. Suitable crystals of 1a and 1b were grown from CH2Cl2-
CH3OH solutions of the compounds. Data were collected on a Bruker
PLATFORM/SMART 1000 CCD diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo Kα
radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) at a temperature of -80 °C. Unit cell parameters and
orientation matrices for data collection were determined by least-squares refinement of
2537 reflections with 5.60° < 2θ < 51.18° for 1a, and refinement of 4213 reflections
with 4.64° < 2θ < 48.48° for 1b. The data were corrected for absorption through use
of a multi-‐scan model (SADABS). Structures were solved using direct methods
(SHELXS-97) (1a) or a combined Patterson search/structure expansion method
(DIRDIF-99) (1b). Refinements were completed using the program SHELXL-97.
Hydrogen atoms were assigned positions based on the idealized sp2 geometries of
their attached carbon atoms, and were given thermal parameters 20% greater than
