The electron spin-spin interaction between the two triplet diphenylcarbene units incorporatedin the [2.2] paracyclophane skeleton has been investigated by ESR spectroscopy. Pseudoortho, pseudometa, and pseudopara didiazo [2.2] paracyclophanes (4a-c) were prepared and photolyzed with Pyrex-filtered UV light in a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran glass atcryogenic temperatures to give the corresponding dicarbenes (5a-c). Intense quintet signals with|£>|= 0.0624 and|£|= 0.0190 cm™ 1 were obtained from 4a. Their intensity obeyed the Curie law in the temperature range 11-50 K, showing that quintet 5a was the ground state. A signal at 104.0 mT due to the thermally populated triplet was also detected at temperatures above 20 K. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of its intensity, the triplet state was located at the energy level 0.18 kcal/mol above the quintet state. Pseudometa bis (phenylmethylenyl)[2.2] paracyclophane (5b) did not show anyESR signal at 11 K. As the temperature was raised above25 K inthe dark, a set of triplet signals with| D|= 0.1840 and|£|= 0.0023 cm™ 1 appeared. Thus it was found that 5b was in the singlet ground state, and its thermally populated triplet was at 0.28 kcal/mol above the ground state. Intense quintet signals (| Z)|= 0.1215 cm'1 and|£= 0.0085 cm™ 1) were detected at 15 K for 5c, but it was too unstable chemically to study the Curie plots. Dipolar interaction tensors have been calculated for the resultant quintet states of dicarbenes 5a and 5c and the triplet state of dicarbene 5b. The best fit of the computed zero-field splitting parameters with those of the experiments produced proposed conformations of the dicarbenes. McConnell’s theory on the intermolecular magnetic interaction between two organic radicals has been demonstrated and a new strategy for increasing the dimension of the high-spin aromatic molecules was found.Molecular design and constructionof organic ferromagnets are the subject of great interest inmodern theoretical and organic chemistry. 1 As an approach to this challenging goal, we have generated a series of high-spinpolycarbenes by photolysis of the corresponding polydiazo compounds at cryogenic temperatures. 2 Magnetic susceptibility measurements have revealed that the nonent tetracarbene PhC (m-C6H4C) 3Ph, for example, has the paramagnetic property of a very large magnetic moment, ap-proaching superpara-magnetism. 3 The logical extension of this finding is that it will be possible to construct “organic molecular magnets”. Curie plots of the paramagnetic susceptibility of a sample in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2MTHF) glass or in neat crystal have shown, however, that the intermolecular interactions in the fortuitously formed aggregates are antiferromagnetic. Therefore, it is imperative for establishing thespin alignment in macroscopic scale throughout the molecular assembly that a system be designed in which intermolecular interactions could be ferromagnetic. One of the plausible methods for achieving this objective is a design of molecularstacking of the spin-containing aromatic rings in crystalsand other organized molecular systems; 4 this will be discussed in this paper. Let us treat the problem of weak intermolecular interaction between two triplet molecules, generating the singlet, triplet, and quintet states. 14 When the exchange integral (J) between the two
