Abstract

An electrochemical study of kinetically stabilized silabenzene, 1-{2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl}silabenzene (1), revealed that its reduction potential is –2.96 V (vs Cp2Fe/Cp2Fe+), which is lower than that of naphthalene. The anion radical species of 1 was generated by one-electron reduction using lithium naphthalenide and characterized by ESR spectroscopy.
