Spin cycle : A high‐spin nitrogen‐centered (aminyl) diradical with a triplet ( S =1) ground state (see picture) has a large singlet‐triplet energy gap (Δ E ST ). Effective shielding of the reactive aminyl radical centers provides stability at room temperature and maintains the planarity of the π system required for the triplet ground state and large Δ E ST value. The diradical assembles in solution to form a π‐dimer‐like structure with weak exchange coupling.
