Further scrutiny for the aniline radical cation : The author of this Correspondence claims that the original spectrometric data for 2,4,6‐tri‐ tert ‐butylaniline (TBA) reported in 2012 do not correspond to a stoichiometrically pure TBA .+ SbF 6 − salt, the quantum‐chemical data do not support the reported structural data, and the interpretation of the apparent temperature‐dependent structural changes in the solid state is open to interpretations other than the Jahn–Teller effect.
