Stable for at least one week below -30°C: crystals of 1, the first highly persistent diphosphanyl radical, have been isolated and characterized. This phosphorus-centered radical exhibits hyperfine coupling whose anisotropy is considerably larger than that for well-established nitrogen radicals (hydrazyls, nitroxides). This feature is of potential interest for studies of fast molecular movements. Mes*=2,4,6-tBu3C6H2. |
