Triplet dioxygen was reduced by TEMPO or trityl radicals in the presence of two molar equivalents of the strong B( p ‐C 6 F 4 X) 3 (X: F or H) boron Lewis acids under mild conditions to give the bis(borane)superoxide systems 2 . The sensitive radical anion species were isolated and characterized by methods including X‐ray crystal structure analysis and EPR spectroscopy.
