Abstract We report the synthesis and full characterization of the first NHC-stabilized triazenyl radicals, obtained by one-electron reduction of the corresponding triazenyl cations with potassium metal. Triazenyl radicals were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, EPR spectroscopy. These radicals reversibly oxidize back to the cations upon treatment with transition metal sources or electrophiles, and abstract H atom from xanthene to form a new N-H bond at the center nitrogen atom. Potential application of the redox couple between triazenyl cation and triazenyl radical was demonstrated as cathode active materials in lithium ion batteries.
