Abstract

Here we show the first observation of an unusual intermolecular magnetic interaction in the liquid-crystalline (LC) state of an all-organic radical compound at 73 °C on water; the magnetic interaction actually allows the LC droplet on water to be attracted by a weak permanent magnet, whereas the crystalline phase did not respond to the magnet.
