Time to B radical : One‐electron reduction of 1‐ferrocenyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetraphenylborole results in a radical anion with 5 π electrons in the borole ring. Both EPR spectroscopic investigations and spin density calculations confirm the formation of a borol radical (see picture). Further reduction stimulates an intramolecular [(C 5 H 5 )Fe] migration from the cyclopentadienyl anion to the borole dianion.
