title: Formation of a new class of 7pi radicals via sterically induced P-P bond cleavage of the dimers [(CH)2(NR)2P]2.
abstract: The 2c-2e- P-P bonded dimers [(CH)2(NR)2P]2 dissociate in solution to give the persistent new 7pi radicals [(CH)2(NR)2P]*, which are isoelectronic with the well known S/N thiazolyl radicals.
