title: Chiral properties of tetrathiatriarylmethyl spin probes.
abstract: We report that tetrathiatriarylmethyl (trityl) EPR probes are chiral molecules at room temperature, the two stereoisomers that differ in their helicity being configurationally stable enough to be separated and stored independently.
