An isolable nitrene radical anion as a nucleophilic open-shell nitrogen synthon
Nitrenes are well-known reactive intermediates used to form a variety of nitrogen-containing molecules, but their reduced radical anions have remained inaccessible under ambient temperature. Here, a persistent nitrene can be converted into an isolable radical anion that features a non-Aufbau electronic configuration. This species acts as a nucleophilic nitrogen radical that forms new N–Se, N–Si, and N–C bonds under mild conditions.
