Radical character quenches luminescence in the all-hydrocarbon radical benzoBDPA

We have synthesized and characterized a benzannulated analog, bBDPA, of the well-known stable radical bis(diphenylene)phenylallyl (BDPA). Benzannulation gives rise to fluorescence in the closed-shell precursor molecule bBDPAH, but luminescence is quenched in the radical species. We detail the synthe...
