Tris(2,4,6-trichloro-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methyl radical: a new stable coloured magnetic species as a chemosensor for natural polyphenols

Chem Commun (Camb). 2003 Jan 7:(1):74-5. doi: 10.1039/b209985c.

Abstract

We report the synthesis, electron paramagnetic resonance and electrochemical properties of a novel stable radical of the TTM series. Its strong electron acceptor ability has been tested with (-)-epicatechin, a natural polyphenolic antioxidant.
