Aromaticity rules

M Sola - Nature Chemistry, 2022 - nature.com
In 1931, Erich Hückel published a landmark paper—the seed of the now famous 4 n+ 2 rule

Unconventional singlet fission materials

T Ullrich, D Munz, DM Guldi - Chemical Society Reviews, 2021 - pubs.rsc.org
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 …

Excited-State (Anti) Aromaticity Explains Why Azulene Disobeys Kasha's Rule

D Dunlop, L Ludvíková, A Banerjee… - Journal of the …, 2023 - ACS Publications
Fluorescence exclusively occurs from the lowest excited state of a given multiplicity

Quantifying aromaticity with electron delocalisation measures

F Feixas, E Matito, J Poater, M Solà - Chemical Society Reviews, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Aromaticity cannot be measured directly by any physical or chemical experiment because it
is not a well-defined magnitude. Its quantification is done indirectly from the measure of …
