Stable, π-conjugated radical anions of boron nitrogen dihydroindeno[1,2-b]fluorenes

Tony Nguyen et al.

Summary: In this study, two new boron-nitrogen dihydroindeno[1,2-b]fluorene derivatives and their radical anions were synthesized and characterized. The unpaired electron of the radical anions was found to be localized in the planar core of the molecules, and dimerization was disfavored. However, the radical anions were reactive towards ambient atmosphere.
