Abstract

A remarkably stable radical zwitterion derived from N-heterocyclic carbene nitric oxide and B(C₆F₅)₃ is reported. The presented radical was generated by steric and electronic protection of the nitric oxide moiety using B(C₆F₅)₃, which secured its stability toward air and moisture. An analogous yet less stable radical derived from C(C₆H₅)₃⁺ is also synthesized and characterized.
