Abstract
The design and synthesis of a water-soluble 1,3-bis(diphenylene)-2-phenylallyl (BDPA) radical via the conjugate addition of a derivatized fluorene nucelophile is described. The compound is designed for use in dynamic nuclear polarization NMR. Its 9 GHz EPR spectrum in glycerol/water is reported.
