Graphical Abstract

Aminylradikale könnten nützliche Oxidationskatalysatoren werden, wenn ihre thermodynamische Unbeständigkeit beherrschbar würde – etwa indem man sie an ein Metallzentrum bindet. Der Semichinon- 1 und der Catechol-Anilinoradikal-Komplex 2 wurden nun hergestellt. Dass der vierzähnige Aminligand über Anilinoradikal-Charakter verfügt, bestätigen EPR- und Resonanz-Raman-Spektroskopie sowie DFT-Rechnungen.
