“…Another class of highly persistent triarylmethyls is illustrated by the structure of Finland trityl ( FT ) radical and its more hydrophilic version Ox-063 . − Analogous to PTM or TTM , here the persistence is attained by severe out-of-plane twisting of the ortho-substituted aryl rings. Both radicals are monomeric and persistent at ambient conditions, and especially Ox-063 and Ox-063-d 24 are well soluble in water, biocompatible and lacking of interactions with blood albumin . Because of negligible hyperfine couplings and the g -values that are close to that of the free electron, derivatives of both FT and Ox radicals feature relatively narrow electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) lines and possess relatively long electron spin relaxation times ( T m and T 1 ) .…”

Stable radicals and thermally robust high-spin di-and triradicals have emerged as important organic materials due to their promising applications in diverse fields. New fundamental properties, such as SOMO/HOMO inversion of orbital energies, are explored for the design of new stable radicals, including highly luminescent ones with good photostability. A relation with the singlet−triplet energy gap in the corresponding diradicals is proposed. Thermally robust high-spin di-and triradicals, with energy gaps that are comparable to or greater than a thermal energy at room temperature, are more challenging to synthesize but more rewarding. We summarize a number of high-spin di-and triradicals, based on nitronyl nitroxides that provide a relation between the experimental pairwise exchange coupling constant J/k in the high-spin species vs experimental hyperfine coupling constants in the corresponding monoradicals. This relation allows us to identify outliers, which may correspond to radicals where J/k is not measured with sufficient accuracy. Double helical high-spin diradicals, in which spin density is delocalized over the chiral π-system, have been barely explored, with the sole example of such high-spin diradical possessing alternant π-system with Kekuléresonance form. Finally, we discuss a high-spin diradical with electrical conductivity and derivatives of triangulene diradicals.
