Open-shell radicals are usually thermodynamically and kinetically unstable due to their
incompletely satisfied valency. However, the rapid development of radical chemistry in the …

Open-shell molecules such as radicals, carbenes, and electronically excited-state molecules
exhibit high energies, and thus, in general, they are quite reactive. 1 The short-lived species …

This work provides an overview of the recent advances in the field of two-photon absorbing
chromophores active in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range. Herein the …

Phenalenyl, a zigzag-edged odd alternant hydrocarbon unit can be found in the graphene
nanosheet. Hückel molecular orbital calculations indicate the presence of a nonbonding …

Low band gap (Eg< 1.5 eV) polycyclic hydrocarbons have become one of the most important
types of materials for many applications, for example, as semiconductors in organic field …

It has been about 40 years since the field of organic conducting polymers was ignited by the
demonstration of metallic conductivity in polyacetylene. A retrospective view of this research …

The electronic and magnetic properties of nanographenes strongly depend on their size,
shape and topology. While many nanographenes present a closed-shell electronic structure …

Aromaticity is an important concept to understand the stability and physical properties of π-
conjugated molecules. Recent studies on pro-aromatic and anti-aromatic molecules …

The field of organic electronics has been prolific in the last couple of years, leading to the
design and synthesis of several molecular semiconductors presenting a mobility in excess of …

The consequence of unpaired electrons in organic molecules has fascinated and
confounded chemists for over a century. The study of open-shell molecules has been …
