A radical comparison: The neutral (1) and radical cation (1.+) forms of tris(N-phenothiazinyl)borane were prepared and their molecular structures and spectral properties investigated. The results established that 1.+ possessed a localized radical cation on one of the phenothiazine (PTZ) rings. The crystal structure of 1.+ showed elongation of the B![[BOND]](http://onlinelibrarystatic.wiley.com/undisplayable_characters/00f8ff.gif)
N bond bound to the PTZ.+ ring (BN1: 1.53 Å).
