linkages furnished an air‐and moisture‐stable neutral radical through unexpected and
spontaneous oxidation. This radical was demetalated by treatment with H2SO4 and
CF3CO2H to provide the corresponding free‐base radical. These porphyrin radicals are
very stable owing to spin delocalization and have been fully characterized through
UV/Vis/NIR absorption spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallographic analysis, magnetic susceptibility …
