Feeling the heat : The aniline radical cation TBA .+ (TBA=2,4,6‐ t Bu 3 C 6 H 2 NH 2 ) has been successfully stabilized both in solution and in the solid state. It exists as two isomers in the crystal lattice that interchange with temperature, and features an exceptionally long CN bond beyond theoretical prediction.
