Heteroatom-centered diradical (oid) s have been in the focus of molecular main group
chemistry for nearly 30 years. During this time, the diradical concept has evolved and the …

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

Incorporation of main group elements into the π-conjugated frameworks is a sophisticated
strategy to alter the fundamental nature of the parent conjugated π-systems, giving rise to …

While a complete understanding of organic semiconductor (OSC) design principles remains
elusive, computational methods─ ranging from techniques based in classical and quantum …

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 …

Singlet fission is a photophysical reaction in which a singlet excited electronic state splits
into two spin-triplet states. Singlet fission was discovered more than 50 years ago, but the …

Singlet fission (SF) is a photophysical downconversion pathway, in which a singlet excitation
transforms into two triplet excited states. As such, it constitutes an exciton multiplication …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

The electronic properties of finite-sized graphene fragments are strongly dependent on their
topological structures. The existence of two or more extended zigzag edges could lead to …

Since the discovery of its facile synthesis in 2001, meso-aryl-substituted expanded
porphyrins have been developed as a new class of azaannulenes in light of their facile …
