17. Such ambiphilic (reductant/oxidant) behavior of the stable heavy group 14 element-centered radicals makes them unique organometallic reagents for the preparation of both anionic and cationic derivatives.
18. The UV-PES spectra were recorded on a home-built, three-part spectrometer equipped with a spherical analyzer (Omicron), main body device (Meca2000), and He-I radiation source (Focus). For additional details, see the Supporting Information. It should be mentioned that all three radicals 1, 2, and 3 are thermally stable at the gas-phase conditions, since their mass spectra were successfully measured (see ref 3).
19. All computational details are given in the Supporting Information.
