Nitroxyl radical substituted diacetylene monomers: molecular design, synthesis, solid-state polymerizability

A study of the solid-state topochemical approach to obtaining the conjugated polyradicals based on nitroxyl radical substituted diacetylenes is reported. Peculiarities of the thermally induced polymerization of the monomers are discussed. Trading rules between molecular design, polymerizability and susceptibility to spin decay for the nitroxyl radicals substituted diacetylenes are discussed.
