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 …

The term “C–H functionalisation” incorporates C–H activation followed by its transformation.
In a single line, this can be defined as the conversion of carbon–hydrogen bonds into …

Conspectus The odd alternant hydrocarbon phenalenyl (PLY) can exist in three different
forms, a closed-shell cation, an open-shell radical, and a closed-shell anion, using its …

Radical chain reactions leading to C–C bond formation are widely used in organic
synthesis, and initiation of the radical chain process usually requires thermolabile radical …

A new and practical method for the generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides is reported.
Rongalite as a novel precursor of super electron donors was used to initiate a series of …

Herein, we have established a phenalenyl-based molecular scaffold which serves as a
potent photoreductant utilizing the empty NBMO in the presence of a base to form a radical …

Phenalenyl-based molecules can switch their redox states on successive addition of
electrons from a cation to a radical to an anion. Utilizing this phenomenal ability, we have …

Borrowing hydrogen from alcohols, storing it on a catalyst and subsequent transfer of the
hydrogen from the catalyst to an in situ generated imine is the hallmark of a transition metal …

The radical-mediated transition metal-free approach for the direct C–H bond
functionalization of arenes is considered as a cost effective alternative to transition metal …

In this report, a ligand-redox assisted catalytic hydrosilylation has been investigated. A
