Two flavors: Intra- and intermolecular spin–spin interactions of unpaired electrons coexist and correlate in stacks of phenalenyl-based singlet biradicals. The electronic structure of the one-dimensional π–π chain is best represented by the superposition of formulas A and B in terms of the resonating valence-bond (RVB) model. Lower temperatures and higher pressures induce a resonance balance shift to the formula B. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information".
