68. A PAH-like radical can exist as such because of its structure, or can be obtained from a closed shell even-C PAH by radical addition, or H-abstraction by a radical; both can be operated, for instance, by a H atom. See, for instance: Giordana, A.; Maranzana, A.; Ghigo, G.; Causà, M.; Tonachini, G. J. Phys. Chem. A 2008, 112, 973-982. As an example, 1- H -pyrenyl would closely resemble a vinyl-substituted phenalenyl radical
