The unit cell of 10‐ethylphenazin‐5(10 H )yl · H 2 O consists of eight phenazin‐5(10 H )‐yls that are arranged in four independent radical pairs A–D . All pairs show close interplanar distances (3.28–3.36 Å). Furthermore, A, B , and D are characterized by short intermolecular contacts between atoms with significant spin populations. This is not valid for the pair C with the closest interplanar distance of 3.28 Å. Magnetic susceptibility measurements as a function of temperature indicate complete spin pairing (“pimerization”) between 20 and 100 K. Therefore, the radical pair C provides evidence that unspecific close interplanar contacts together with a reasonable overlap of the π systems are sufficient to lead to pimerization.
