In this paper, in order to explore high-spin carbon-based magnetic materials with strong ferromagnetic coupling, geometric structure, electronic structure and magnetic properties of alternating stacks of π-radical-halogenated-hydrocarbons and diamagnetic molecules have been investigated based on density-functional theory with dispersion correction. These alternating stacks are predicted to avoid the typical antiferromagnetic spin-exchange of indentical face-to-face radicals via spin polarization of a diamagnetic molecule in between. Our results show that π-radicalhalogenated-hydrocarbons like perchlorophenalenyl (C13 Cl9 ) is strong ferromagnetic coupling if alternatingly stacked with aromatics like fluorinated coronene (C24 F12 ) or coronene (C24 H12 ), while fluorinated perinaphthenyl (C13 F9 ) and perinaphthenyl (C13 H9 ) are not an equally good choice. The role of ligand configuration in determining exchange coupling in stacks is discussed. These results would give some hints for designing new high-spin carbon-based ferromagnetic materials. I. INTRODUCTION Carbon is not only known as a biocompatible element, but also many advanced carbon-based materials with special functional and properties were synthesized, such as carbon nanotubes, fullerences, graphene. Moreover, in the past twenty years metal-free magnets made from carbon-based compounds have been discovered and, more recently, there have been reports on the observation of magnetism in carbon [1-9]. .
