Abstract
Silylformamidine 1 exists in equilibrium with its carbenic form 1' due to an easy migration of the silyl group. The reaction of 1 with variously substituted fluorobenzenes proceeds as an insertion of the nucleophilic carbene 1' into the most acidic C-H bond upon mixing the reagents and does not require any catalyst. According to DFT calculations, the classical interpretation of the insertion reaction proceeding via a three-membered transition state structure requires high activation energy. Instead, low activation barriers are predicted for a transfer of the most acidic proton in the aromatic substrate to the carbene carbon. As the next step, a barrierless rearrangement of the formed ion pair toward the product completes the process. The reactivity of substituted benzenes in the reaction with silylformamidine can be roughly assessed by calculated pKa (DMSO) values for the C-H hydrogens. Benzene derivatives having pKa approx. less than 31 can undergo C-H insertion. The reaction provides aminals as the first products, which can easily be transformed into the corresponding aldehydes via acidic hydrolysis. As silylformamidine 1 is tolerant to many functional groups, the reaction can be applied to numerous benzene derivatives, making it a reliable strategy for application in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Reduction of 2-H-substituted pyrrolinium cations via initially formed secondary radicals results in either dimerisation or H-abstracted products, while the outcome depends on the N-substituents. The resultant central carbon-carbon single bond in the dimerised 2,2'-bipyrrolidine derivatives can be oxidised chemically and electrochemically. The notably air and moisture-stable dimers were subsequently utilised as a source of two electrons in various chemical transformations.

Abstract
Two radical cations of bis-BN-based analogues of Thiele's hydrocarbons were facilely synthesized, fully characterized, and theoretically investigated. One-electron oxidation leads to the reduced bond length alternation and NICS values of the central C4N2 rings, suggesting the decreasing antiaromatic character. The spin density of the radical cations is significantly delocalized over the central linkers with a small contribution from two terminal N-heterocyclic boryl units.

Abstract
Alkenes are known to undergo oxidation to radical cations and dications. The radical cations are often highly reactive and not stable under air. Herein, we report the synthesis, isolation, characterization, and molecular structure of an alkene-derived radical cation A, which is stable in air both in the solid state and in solution. The access to this compound was facilitated from E-diamino tri-substituted alkene B as a synthon for the synthesis of A through one-electron oxidation. The E-diamino tri-substituted alkene B was synthesized by the two-electron reduction of N,N'-1,2-propylene-bridged bis-2-phenyl-pyrrolinium cation C. Under two-electron oxidation, alkene B transforms back to cation C involving a double carbocation rearrangement.

Abstract
Herein, we report diamidocarbene (DAC)-based Thiele and Tschitschibabin hydrocarbons, diradicaloids that contain four carbonyl/amido functional groups. The impact of two different π-conjugated spacers, p-phenylene vs p,p'-biphenylene, has been realized. The quantum chemical calculations suggest diamidocarbene (DAC)-based Thiele hydrocarbon (p-phenylene bridged) closed-shell singlet is the ground state, whereas for the diamidocarbene (DAC)-based Tschitschibabin hydrocarbon (p,p'-biphenylene bridged), open-shell singlet is the ground state. The influence of two different π-conjugated spacers also has been reflected in their UV-vis spectra. To gain more information on the diamidocarbene (DAC)-based Thiele and Tschitschibabin hydrocarbons, we have also carried out cyclic voltammetry investigations along with UV-vis-NIR-spectroelectrochemical studies of their corresponding 2-e oxidized product.
