31. -1) but no reversible dimerization of the aniline radical cation was found (FigureS1 in the Supporting Information), which is probably a result of steric hindrance. For an example of the reversible dimerization of an amine radical cation, see:, O. Yurchenko, J. Heinze, S. Ludwigs, ChemPhysChem 2010, 11, 1637-1640.

37. - determined at other temperatures between 123-373K were found to be close to either the bisallyl or quinoid structure or in between. It seems that 296K is the transition temperature at which the isomerism between bisallyl and quinoid structures occurs (FigureS9 in the Supporting Information)
38. -, TGA of crystals was performed and showed no weight loss on the X-ray time scale (FigureS5)
39. A libration analysis was performed on the structure at 373K to give corrections of 0.002Å for the bonds C2-C3 and C1-N1, -0.001Å for the bond C1-C2, and 0.001Å for the bond C3-C4.
