Radical cation or anion arising formally by ionization of diradicals or zwitterionic molecules (including ylides). In these ions the charge site and the unpaired electron spin cannot be both formally located in the same atom or group of atoms as it can be with a conventional ion. For example, <sub>2</sub>-OH<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> is a distonic ion whereas the radical cation of methanol, CH<sub>3</sub>OH<sup>+</sup>.

Radical ion whose charge and radical sites are neither at the same atom nor in conjugation with each other.
