23. Although the cation–radical of A was stable in solution (as established by the reversible CV), it was not sufficiently persistent to allow isolation of the cation–radical salt A + SbCl6−. Thus B ++ and not A + was used to establish the geometrical (bond-length) change in D upon 1-electron oxidation to the cation–radical D+ with q = 1.
24. All the aromatic donors in Classes I–III show chemically reversible cyclic voltammograms with anodic/cathodic peak current ratio in the value: 0.9, 1.1. The quantitative electrode behavior relative to the electrochemical reversibility of these interesting redox couples will be addressed in a later study.
