Polymeric Blatter's Radical via CuAAC and ROMP

Abstract A Blatter radical‐containing polymer backbone is synthesized via copper‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and consecutive ring‐opening metathesis polymerization. For this, an alkyne‐functionalized Blatter radical is synthesized and used for the described CuAAC, yielding a polymerizable derivative of the radical. The resulting polymer is electrochemically investigated in cyclic voltammetry experiments, paving the way for the possible utilization of triazinyl radicals in all‐organic polymer batteries. Furthermore, the simple modification of the alkyne bond makes further derivatization easily accessible.
