Abstract

The alternating ABABAB π-stacked bis-1,2,3-dithiazolyl radical 2a (2, R(2)=Ph) has a conductivity σ of 3×10(-5) S cm(-1) at 300 K, and orders as a spin-canted antiferromagnet (T(N)=4.5 K) which undergoes a spin-flop transition to a field-induced ferromagnetic state saturating (at 2 K) at H ∼20 kOe.
