Abstract
The synthesis of a long-lived, truxene-based radical that is highly delocalized and exhibits a narrow EPR absorption is reported. The radical is stable for multiple hours in a soln. exposed to air and remains for months in the solid state under inert gas. Characterization and properties are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]
