Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a biradical in which two semiquinone rings are held rigidly co-planar and are attached in a geminal fashion to a carbon-carbon double bond is described. The results of cyclic voltammetry and variable-temperature EPR studies are interpreted in terms of the interaction of the two semiquinones through the carbon-carbon double bond coupling unit.
