We have succeeded in synthesizing two types of new organic radical crystals 3-I-V [= 3-(3-iodophenyl)-1,5-diphenylverdazyl] and 3-Br-4-F-V [= 3-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-1,5-diphenylverdazyl]. Their crystal strucutures are found to be isomorphous to that of previously reported spin ladder 3-C1-4-F-V. Through the quantitative analysis of their molecular arrangements and magnetic properties, we confirm that these materials form ferromagnetic chain-based spin ladders with slightly modulated magnetic interactions. These results present the first quantitative demonstration of the fine-tuning of magnetic interactions in the molecular-based materials.
