Útdráttur:1,3‐Bis(diphenylene)‐2‐phenylallyl (BDPA)‐based radicals are of interest as polarizing agents for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). For this purpose, a BDPA‐nitroxide biradical, employing a phosphodiester linkage, was synthesized. Contrary to what is commonly assumed, BDPA‐derived radicals were observed to have limited stability. Hence, the effects of various factors on the stability of BDPA radicals were investigated. Solvent polarity was found to play a significant role on degradation; a polar BDPA radical was observed to degrade faster in a non‐polar solvent, whereas non‐polar radicals were more unstable in polar solvents. The rate of decomposition was found to increase non‐linearly with increasing radical concentration; a 2‐fold increase in concentration led to a 3‐fold increase in the rate of degradation. Collectively, these results indicate that the dimerization is a significant degradation pathway for BDPA radicals and indeed, a dimer of one BDPA radical was detected by mass spectrometry.
