Description
Summary:The chemical oxidation of alternating branched polyarylamines leads to the formation of radical cations, the presence of which was manifested by the appearance of new bands in the UV-visible-near infrared spectra. Spins of radical cations can be magnetically coupled. The nutation pulsed-EPR technique was used to determine the multiplicity of spin systems for different oxidant:polymer unit ratios. It was found that spins of polymers oxidized to a radical cation in each conjugated amine segment interact magnetically to form dominant quartet state (S=3/2). Magnetization measurements confirmed the ferromagnetic interaction of spins, returning an exchange integral J=+0.75 meV.
