Potassium‐intercalated naphthalene crystal with P2 1 /a symmetry shows anisotropic spin transport along one crystallographic direction mediated through naphthalene–potassium–naphthalene packing. Localized up‐spins and conducting down‐spins result in a half‐metallic behavior in this intercalated crystal. In addition, the asymmetric spin density distribution leads to a fully compensated ferrimagnetic ground state, as discussed by Sasmita Mohakud and co‐workers in article number 2000398 .
