PPV 1 is considered to be a high-spin polymer by theories on its topol
ogical symmetry and expected to have interesting magnetic properties.
Dinitrenes 2 n and 3 n would serve as prototypes for evaluating the si
gn and magnitude of the intramolecular coupling in 1. 2 n and 3 n were
photochemically generated from 2 a and 3 a, respectively, and found t
o have ground triplet states by means of ESR spectroscopy.
