307. Half-life and/or lifetime of the carbene are not mentioned in the literature, see: Ref. 102b.
308. Generation of dendric hexakis- and dodekakis-(diphenylcarbene) derivatives are also reported. They show low spin-states due to the connectivities with both non-disjoint (S = 2, J >0) and disjoint (J ̃ 0) manners, see: T. Itoh, T. Maemura, Y. Ohtsuka, et al. Eur. J. Org. Chem., 2991-3003 (2004).
