Abstract in brief

The article discusses the synthesis of two stable olympicenyl radical derivatives that have half-lives of 7 and 34 days in air, a significant achievement since such radicals are usually very reactive and short-lived.
X-ray crystallography revealed unique dimers formed by head-to-tail structures with very close intermolecular distances, and these dimers were found to be in a singlet ground state with large energy gaps, confirmed by ESR spectroscopy.
Studies showed that the monomers and their dimers exist in equilibrium and that dimer formation increases the local aromaticity of the molecules, as supported by both experimental techniques and theoretical calculations.
