Intramolecular spin alignment, photoinduced electron transfer (PET), energy transfer (EnT), and spin dynamics via p-conjugation in organic radicals are quite important processes in organic molecular spintronics [1, 2] as well as for the photocontrol of organic magnetism.[3] Studies of spin manipulation using a dynamic process are significantly important in the fields of molecular magnetism [1] and molecular spintronics.[1, 2] To clarify the relationship between the intramolecular spin alignment and PET or EnT, we investigated a p-conjugated spin system 1 (ADR) shown in Figure 1, in which a naphtalimide electron acceptor (A) is covalently linked via an anthracene photosensitive moiety as donor (D) to the verdazyl radical (R). Hereafter, we refer to the phenylanthracene-verdazyl radical (DR) as the parent radical 3 [4c](see Figure S1 of the Supporting Information). Such p-conjugated spin systems have the following advantages in the view of forthcoming organic molecular spintronics and materials science:[4, 5] 1) p-Conjugated spin systems have a strong exchange coupling that leads to a robust spin alignment compared to other triplet/radical-pair systems (s-bonded systems [6] and coordination complexes [7]). 2) In p-conjugated systems, molecules with the desired spin state can be well-designed by taking the topology of the p-electron network (p-topology) into account. 3) An enhanced intersystem crossing (ISC) mechanism due to the attachment of the radical species is available.[4b, 8] The strong exchange coupling and the new pathway opened by the enhanced ISC are important to the magnetic control of the spin transfer, which is a fundamental issue of molecular spintronics. Dynamic multifunctional spin systems, such as itinerant electrons coupled to a localized spin, are a current topic of the spintronics.[2] In the photoexcited state, PET and EnT are the most common dynamic processes. Therefore, our systems are suitable model systems to study the dynamic processes and spin alignment.[4d]In our previous papers,[5] in which we used a triad system 2 with a bodipy [9] component (a well-known energy acceptor [9] for 1D*), we reported the first evidence of a unique dynamic electron polarization in the photoexcited quartet state. Thus, in that previous work, the
