Synthesis, Physical Properties, and Reactivity of Stable, π-Conjugated, Carbon-Centered Radicals

Recently, long-lived, organic radical species have attracted much attention from chemists and material scientists because of their unique electronic properties derived from their magnetic spin and singly occupied molecular orbitals. Most stable and persistent organic radicals are heteroatom-centered...
