We hypothesize that paramagnetic, multidentate, chelating ligands can
be used to create molecular magnetic materials with high ordering temp
erature. The ligands proposed for such materials are di-, tri-, and ol
igosemiquinone molecules. This paper will discuss the synthesis and ch
aracterization of these semiquinone ligands.
