| he research presented in this thesis focused on the reactivity of (R,R;A broad range of analytical techniques including electrochemistry, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, UV-Visible, paramagnetic NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography were used to characterize the monomers and dimers. From the electrochemistry and UV-Visible spectroscopic studies, it was concluded that all of... |
