Synthesis and oxidation of triarylamine derivatives bearing hydrogen-bonding groups.
Hydrogen-bonding triarylamines, 4-(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)benzoic acid (TPA1), 5-(N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)isophthalic acid (TPA2), and N-(4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl)-N,N-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amine (BImTPA), were synthesized as radical cation precursors. TPA1 and TPA2 are readily p-doped by AgSbF(6) to give highly persistent radical cations. Poor solid-state spin yields of the radical cation from BImTPA may be due to spin delocalization.
