The identification of the aniline radical cation TBA .+ (TBA=2,4,6‐ t Bu 3 C 6 H 2 NH 2 ) reported in 2012 was questioned in the preceeding Correspondence articles. The original authors have reexamined their UV/Vis absorption and EPR data and insist that TBA .+ radical cation is indeed persistent and stable. The possible cocrystallization of TBA .+ with TBAH + makes crystal structures more complicated.
