12. The transfer of a hydrogen atom to a dinitroxide carbene was recently reported as part of a much larger study. The nitronyl nitroxide carbene abstracted a H atom from the solvent, and this was seen as indicative of partial radical character at the radical center, unlike the imidazole-2-ylidenes: Weiss, R.; Kraut, N.
