The radical formed from naphthalene platform demonstrates B-C one-electron bonding characteristics.
Reduction of the cation generates a radical with a B-C distance of 2.874(3) Å, highlighting bonding changes.
EPR spectroscopy confirmed the radical's structure, allowing insights into B-C bond polarization.
The findings suggest a need to revise our understanding of B-C bonding, proposing noncovalent triel bonding as a concept.
