The He(I) photoelectron spectra of the following molecules with S·̱·̱̱·̱·̱·̱̱·̱N multiple bondsare assigned by radical cation state comparison between the chemically related compounds as well as by MO models based on CNDO calculations. From the ionisation energies of the O=S=O/HN=S=O pair a parameter απSN can be deduced, which proves to be useful in the discussion of other SN compounds like R3C-N=S=O and RN=S=NR.

AbstractThiele’s hydrocarbon occupies a central role as an open-shell platform for new organic materials, however little is known about its redox behaviour. While recent synthetic approaches involving symmetrical carbene substitution of the CPh2 termini yield isolable neutral/dicationic analogues, the intervening radical cations are much more difficult to isolate, due to narrow compatible redox ranges (typically < 0.25 V). Here we show that a hybrid BN/carbene approach allows access to an unsymmetrical analogue of Thiele’s hydrocarbon 1, and that this strategy confers markedly enhanced stability on the radical cation. 1•+ is stable across an exceptionally wide redox range (> 1 V), permitting its isolation in crystalline form. Further single-electron oxidation affords borenium dication 12+, thereby establishing an organoboron redox system fully characterized in all three redox states. We perceive that this strategy can be extended to other transient organic radicals to widen their redox stability window and facilitate their isolation.
