A remarkably air-stable quinodimethane radical cation

Abstract

An ambient-stable radical cation of a Thiele's hydrocarbon derivative has been synthesized and its properties have been explored using a combined experimental and computational approach. The radical cation exhibited several intense near-infrared absorption bands and its solution-processed thin films showed high electrical conductivity at room temperature.
