Abstract
An organic switch : An open‐shell dyad, consisting of an electron acceptor perchlorotriphenylmethyl radical unit linked to an electron π‐donor tetrathiafulvalene unit through a vinylene π‐bridge, was synthesized (see picture). The self‐assembly of the dyad in solution induced by its intramolecular electron transfer was studied.
