title: Di(triptycyl)carbene: a fairly persistent triplet dialkylcarbene.
abstract: The title carbene was generated and characterized by matrix spectroscopy (ESR and UV/vis) and laser flash photolysis along with theoretical calculations, which revealed interesting effects of triptycyl groups on structure and reactivities of carbenes.
