28. Average torsion angle refers to the average dihedral angle measured for atoms C3-C4-C7-C8 and C5-C4-C7-C12.
29. EPR hyperfine coupling constants reported have an assumed error margin of ∼±0.05 G.
30. The correlation in ref 9a used bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs), which were determined from equilibration experiments. ΔBDE values were obtained from these equilibrium constants and then converted to BDEs using a gas-phase BDE of tBu3ArO-H. Here, we take their equilibrium constants to be ΔBDFEs and scale them to the reported BDFE of tBu3ArO-H in benzene.3

32. (b) Values reported in (a): E1/2 (tBu2PhArO•-) = - 0.014 V; E1/2(tBu3ArO•-) = -0.059 V (both vs Ag/AgCl; in 9:1 MeCN/H2O; 0.01m [Me4N+][OH-], 0.01m [Me4N+][Cl-]).
33. The pKa of tBu2PhArO-H is taken to be roughly equal to the pKa of tBu3ArO-H (∼28 in MeCN; ref 3) since their BDFEs and E° are roughly equivalent.
34. CG is a constant that contains the free energy of formation of H•, free energy of solvation of H•, as well as the nature of the electrode. In MeCN, CG = 54.9 kcal mol-1. A more detailed description can be found in ref 3.
