Chem Sci. 2019 Apr 8;10(18):4727-4741. doi: 10.1039/c9sc01351b. eCollection 2019 May 14.

Abstract

Isolation and characterization of stable radicals has been a long-pursued quest. While there has been some progress in this field particularly with respect to carbon, radicals involving heavier p-block elements are still considerably sparse. In this review we describe our recent successful efforts on the isolation of stable p-block element radicals particularly those involving aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus.
