Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The identification of the aniline radical cation</bold> TBA^.+ (TBA=2, 4, 6‐<italic>t</italic>Bu₃C₆H₂NH₂) reported in 2012 was questioned in the preceeding Correspondence articles. The original authors have reexamined their UV/Vis absorption and EPR data and insist that TBA^.+ radical cation is indeed persistent and stable. The possible cocrystallization of TBA^.+ with TBAH⁺ makes crystal structures more complicated.</p> </abstract>
