The mechanism of the phase transition of 1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,2,4]triazin-4-yl (1), the first reported triazinyl radical to present such feature, is unveiled. In so doing, we identify the key ingredients that are crucial to enable the phase transition in this family of radicals, and how those can be exploited by a rational design of the spin-carrying units.
