Borocyclic radicals with highly conjugated aromatics were generated from orthoquinone-containing polycyclic aromatic compounds by trapping the photoinduced triplet state with simple boron halide under irradiation with light of appropriate wavelength. The picene-based borocyclic radical was remarkably stable when stored at 23 °C in a desiccator for over 1 year. The crystal structure of this stable radical had a stacking structure of a planar π-conjugated system, and the electrical conductivity was higher than those of ordinary organic radical systems.
