Neutral alkyl‐substituted spirobiphenalenyl radicals (see formula) were recently reported that exhibit bistability as a consequence of temperature‐dependent hysteretic switching. The high‐ and low‐temperature forms display significant differences in their electrical, optical, and magnetic properties.
