Reaction of Mes(2)BF with trimethylsilyl triflate (Me3SiOTf) and [Ag(IMe2][Ag2I3] (IMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) in refluxing chlorobenzene affords the carbene-stabilized borenium salt [(IMe)BMes(2)]OTf ([I][OTf]). As indicated by cyclic voltammetry, [I](+) is reversibly reduced to produce a radical that has been characterized by EPR spectroscopy.
