A radical thing : After being obtained unexpectedly in low yields, the synthesis of the first stable triarylgermyl radical . Ge[3,5‐ t Bu 2 ‐2,6‐(EtO) 2 C 6 H] 3 ( 1 ; C gray, O blue) was considerably optimized, and the product was investigated by X‐ray analysis and EPR spectroscopy. The results were compared with DFT‐MO studies for the model compound . Ge[2,6‐(MeO) 2 C 6 H 3 ].
