Organic radicals are attracting increasing interest as a new class of molecular emitters. They
demonstrate electronic excitation and relaxation dynamics based on their doublet or higher …

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 review sets out to understand the reactivity of diradicals and how that may differ from
monoradicals. In the first part of the review, we delineate the electronic structure of a …

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 …

Open-shell systems with extensive π-conjugation have fascinating properties due to their
narrow bandgaps and spin interactions. In this work, we report neutral open-shell di-and …

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 …

The ground-state structure of the parent para-quinonedimethide (p-QDM) molecule is
generally represented in its closed shell form, ie, as a cyclic, nonaromatic, through …

Organic molecules with unpaired electrons are intriguing for advanced applications in
molecular electronics, spintronics and organic batteries, as well as other possible …

Higher order acenes (ie, acenes longer than pentacene) and extended zethrenes (ie,
zethrenes longer than zethrene) are theoretically predicted to have an open-shell singlet …

A new strategy for the catalytic synthesis of substituted 1 H-indenes via metalloradical
activation of o-cinnamyl N-tosyl hydrazones is presented, taking advantage of the intrinsic …
