5. Radical trications were recently proposed as secondary oxidation products of alkyl substituted sexithiophenes in solution, but the EPR signals of both the radical cations and trications were unresolved: M. Sato and M. Hiroi, Chem. Lett., 1994, 745;

7. Unresolved EPR signals were also recently observed upon oxidation of some molecules containing two TTF-π-subsystems and readily donating four electrons: K. Lahlil, A. Moradpour, C. Bowlas, F. Menou, P. Cassoux, J. Bonvoisin, J.-P. Launay, G. Dive and D. Dehareng, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1995, 117, 9995.
8. Furthermore, formation of radical trications was presumed by analysing cyclic voltammograms of a few tris(3-dithiole) donors containing thiophene spacers, but no EPR spectra were reported: A. Ohta and Y. Yamashita, Heterocycles, 1995, 40, 123.
