Gomberg-type, triarylmethyl-centered radicals
radicals through their para-positions results in the Chichibabinhydrocarbon (e.g., TTM-TTM, PTM-PTM) [86]. If an additional phenyl ring is incorporated between the trityl units, we obtain Müller’s hydrocarbon (TTM-PhTTM) [87]. When two of the trityl radicals overlap in one ring and the radical electrons
