We report a neutral high-spin diradical of chiral -symmetric bis[5]diazahelicene with Δ ≈ 0.4 kcal mol, as determined by EPR spectroscopy/SQUID magnetometry. The diradical is the most persistent among all high-spin aminyl radicals reported to date by a factor of 20, with a half-life of up to 6 days in 2-MeTHF at room temperature.
