20. Additional experiments showed that the intensity ratio (A/B) measured on the frozen solution spectra was sensitive to additional factors such as the concentration ratio of sodium naphthalenide/phosphinine 2.
21. At 100 K, only the B lines in Figure 3 a were observed after reduction was carried out with sodium naphthalenide in the absence of cryptand. Although a frozen solution spectrum could not be clearly recorded upon reduction of 2 with a sodium mirror, a broad doublet (40 G) was observed at 200 K. The signals observed upon reduction with naphthalenide or alkali metal were also detected after in situ electrolysis of a THF solution of 2 in the EPR cavity. However, with this method additional lines were observed that can tentatively be attributed to protonation of the radical anion by traces of water in the electrolytic cell.

25. We cannot exclude that an intermolecular one-electron P-P bond is not formed in the frozen solution. Such a reaction between a localized radical anion and a neutral phosphinine would decrease the amount of localized radical anions responsible for signals of type A1 and A2.
