aromatic ring not only protects the spin-bearing carbon of the heterocycle from the<br />

irreversible formation of a carbon-carbon bond, but also results in delocalizing the spin of<br />

the unpaired electron over the rest of the molecule through the extended π system, 113<br />

which is an important criterion for enhanced stability of radical molecules.<br />

A number of benzo or naphtha-fused species have been investigated, although they<br />

seem to frequently suffer from reversible formation of the π-stacked, sulfur-sulfur bonded<br />

dimers which plagued the previous examples of thiazyl radicals. 114 Compound I-17d is<br />

one such example. As a result, the magnetic properties of many of these types of<br />

I-17d<br />

Figure 1-12. π-stacked dimers of I-17d.<br />

compounds have not sparked considerable interest in the magnetochemistry community.<br />

However, the Oakley group h<strong>as</strong> been experiencing success with a bifunctional 1,2,3-DTA<br />

b<strong>as</strong>ed radical framework (I-17e) which they have been tweaking with different R groups<br />

<strong>and</strong> the incorporation of selenium in the place of sulfur. 110<br />

Many of these compounds do<br />

not form dimers, but form evenly spaced π-stacks which exhibit antiferromagnetic<br />
