A triplet carbene surviving a week in solution at room temperature.
A stable triplet carbene, having a lifetime at 25 degrees C of 14.5 days in a dilute benzene solution, was realized by simply changing the substituent at the 10 position of the previously most persistent carbene, di[9-(10-phenyl)anthryl]carbene, from a phenyl to a 2,6-dimethyl-4-tert-butylphenyl group.
