Abstract
MOST of the better known radical anions and dianions have in common the fact that their precursors possess low-lying vacant molecular orbitals. It is deduced that compounds in which atoms are suitably disposed to afford the maximum overlap of vacant orbitals should constitute suitable electron acceptors so that a stable reduced species might be obtained.
