11. The reactive compounds for these studies were prepared from 1b. Both 1a and 1b were synthesised following the literature procedure (ref. 4). All compounds were stable for several weeks at -10 °C under argon in the dark. Each compound was prepared and studied independently at least twice.
12. The electronic coupling between the radical cation and the radical anion in C (if the twist angle is less than 90°) would lead to a shift of electron density from the radical anion moiety to the radical cation site, diminishing the degree of electron transfer, and affecting somewhat the thermodynamic calculations presented here.
13. The reversible redox potentials were obtained using cyclic voltammetry on 1a.
