Abstract	The intramolecular magnetic exchange coupling constants (J) for a series of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and verdazyl diradical cations connected by a range of pi conjugated linkers have been investigated by means of methodology based on unrestricted density functional theory. The magnetic interaction between radicals is transmitted via pi-electron conjugation for all considered compounds. The calculation of J yields strong or medium ferromagnetic coupling interactions (in the range of 56 and 300 K) for diradical cations connected by linkers with an even number of carbon atoms that are able to provide a spin polarization pathway, while antiferromagnetic coupling is predicted when linkers with an odd number of carbon atoms are employed. The topological analysis of spin density distributions have been used to reveal the effects of the spin polarization on both linkers and spin carriers. The absence of heteroatoms that impede the spin polarization pathway, and the existence of a unique spin polarization path instead of several possible competitive routes are factors which contribute to large positive J values favoring ferromagnetic interactions between the two terminal pi-radicals. The magnitude of J depends strongly on the planarity of the molecular structure of the diradical cation since a more effective orbital overlap between the two pi-systems can be achieved. Hence, the dependence of J on the torsion angle (theta) of each spin carrier has been analyzed. In this respect, our findings show that this geometrical distortion reduces largely the calculated J values for ferromagnetic couplings, leading to weak antiferromagnetic interactions for a torsion angle of 90 degrees .
