Rev., 1994, 94, 871, For a review on ion pairing in organic dianions, see:, Diborane 1 is recovered upon quenching with iodine., Further studies are needed to unambigously assign the spin multiplicity of the ground state; e. g. magnetisation studies in ref. 6., CV studies for an isomer of diborane 1, bis(dimesitylboron)-1,4-phenyl-ene and dimesitylphenylborane (DMF-TBAP, carbon glass electrode):, All potentials are given in THF-TBAP at 100 µm Pt-disk working electrode, with ferrocene (0.510 V vs. SCE) as reference, at ambient temp.; see:, Dimesitylboron fluoride:, references 3(b) and 3(c)., The diradical dianion of diborane 1 is π-isoelectronic with Schlenk hydrocarbon, a diradical of which derivatives have been shown to possess S= 1 ground state:, magnetic susceptibility, UV-VIS spectroscopy, ion pairing,, electrochemistry,, magnetic resonance spectroscopy,, X-ray crystallography, Trimesitylboron radical anions:, and references therein.
