FTIR and NIR-FT-Raman study of potential molecular ferromagnetics - poly(diacetylenes) substituted with nitroxyl radicals

Structural transformations during thermal treatment of several nitroxyl substituted diacetylene (DA) monomers have been studied by using EA, TGA, DSC, EPR, FTIR, NIR-FT Raman (FTR) and X-ray analysis. Peculiarities of the solid state polymerization reactions of these monomers are discussed based mainly on the FTIR and FTR data obtainable for both the nitroxyl-substituted and “classic” diacetylenes and PDAs.
