| contents | We successfully synthesized [Cu$_2$(AcO)$_4$($p$-Py-V-$p$-F)$_2$]$\cdot$4CHCl$_3$, a verdazyl-based complex with a paddlewheel structure comprising two Cu atoms, which induces strong antiferromagnetic (AF) exchange interactions between Cu spins, generating a nonmagnetic singlet state at low temperatures. Two primary exchange interactions between radical spins generate a spin-1/2 AF two-leg ladder. In addition, two possible positional configurations of the F atom in the complex create four different overlap patterns of molecular orbitals, introducing bond randomness in the spin ladder. The observed experimental behaviors, such as the Curie tail in the magnetic susceptibility and the gapless gradual increase in the magnetization curve, are attributed to a broad distribution of excitation energies and a few orphan spins in the random-singlet (RS) state that are stabilized by bond randomness. The low-temperature specific heat exhibits a temperature dependence with $\propto 1/|{\rm{ln}}T|^3$, demonstrating the formation of the RS state in unfrustrated systems. We also consider the effect of restricted patterns of exchange interactions and one-dimensional nature of the system on the RS state. |
