X-ray crystallographic analysis of 2 revealed an anti-parallel stacked dimer structure via intermolecular dipole\u2013dipole interaction, and the observed solvent-dependent diradical character can be explained by the different dihedral angles between the phenoxyl units and the BODIPY bridge, and structural flexibility of the molecule in different solvents. Compound 2 also exhibited solvent-dependent optical and electrochemical properties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules24081446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,12]],"date-time":"2019-04-12T12:55:04Z","timestamp":1555073704000},"page":"1446","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["A BODIPY-Bridged Bisphenoxyl Diradicaloid: Solvent-Dependent Diradical Character and Physical Properties"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Fang","family":"Miao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, 3 Science Drive 3, 117543, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hoa","family":"Phan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, 3 Science Drive 3, 117543, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8231-0437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jishan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore, 3 Science Drive 3, 117543, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7011","DOI":"10.1021\/cr400056a","article-title":"Diradicals","volume":"113","author":"Abe","year":"2013","journal-title":"Chem.
