The positions of methyl group(s) on the phenylene bridge allow for an experimentally determined evaluation of conformationally dependent (π) and conformationally independent (σ) contributions to the electronic and magnetic exchange couplings in these D-B-A biradicals at parity of D and A. The trend in the experimental magnetic exchange couplings are well described by CASSCF calculations. The torsional dependence of the pairwise exchange interactions are further illuminated in three-dimensional, "Ramachandran-type" plots that relate D-B and B-A torsions to both electronic and exchange couplings. Analysis of the magnetic data shows large variations in magnetic exchange (J ≈ 1-175 cm(-1)) and electronic coupling (H(DA) ≈ 450-6000 cm(-1)) as a function of bridge conformation relative to the donor and acceptor. This has allowed for an experimental determination of both the σ- and π-orbital contributions to the exchange and electronic couplings.}, number={29}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY}, author={Stasiw, Daniel E. and Zhang, Jinyuan and Wang, Guangbin and Dangi, Ranjana and Stein, Benjamin W. and Shultz, David A. and Kirk, Martin L. and Wojtas, Lukasz and Sommer, Roger D.}, year={2015}, month={Jul}, pages={9222–9225} }
