A perpendicular paramagnetic bond is a type of chemical bond (in contrast to covalent or ionic bonds) that does not exist under normal, atmospheric conditions.[1] Such a phenomenon was first hypothesized through simulation to exist in the atmospheres of white dwarf stars[2] whose magnetic fields, on the order of 105 teslas,[1] allow such interactions to exist. Normally, at such intense temperatures as those near a white dwarf, more common molecular bonds cannot form and existing ones decompose.
