4-[(3,5-Di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)(3 2,5-di-tert-butyl-4-oxo-cyclohexa-
2,5-dienylidene)methyl]styrene (abbreviated as (p-vinylphenyl)hydrogalvinox
yl) was polymerized using AIBN as an initiator to give a bright yellow poly
mer with <(M)over bar (w)> = 3.2 x 10(4). The polymer was oxidized to give
the corresponding polyradical derivative, whose spin concentration could be
increased up to about 70 mol % depending on oxidative conditions. ESR sign
al line-width in the solid state was greatly increased below 200 K for the
polyradical with a high spin concentration (> 50 mol %). The magnetization
and magnetic susceptibility indicated weak antiferromagnetic interaction am
ong the radical sites. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
