One-Electron Redox Reactions of Octaphenylradialene: Generation and ESR/ENDOR Characterisation of Its Radical Anion and Radical Cation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19920750113

The cyclovoltammograms of octaphenyl<4>radialene in DMF or THF at room temperature disclose each two quasireversible reduction and oxidation potentials at -1.4 V/-1.7 V and +0.7 V/+0.9 V.Accordingly, both the radical anion and the radical cation can be ge
