Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The 2, 5, 8‐tris(pentafluorophenyl)phenalenyl radical was obtained by a straightforward synthesis in 11 steps from 2, 7‐dibromonaphthalene. This radical crystallized as a σ dimer from a solution in MeCN and as a π‐stack from a melted liquid. The π stack was not confined to dimerization, but extended into a uniform 1D stack with an interplanar distance of 3.503 Å. This unique duality in association mode arose from the thermodynamic stability of the phenalenyl moiety.</p> </abstract>
