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 …

Single-molecule conductance generally decays exponentially with the length of the
molecule when the transport mechanism is a coherent tunneling process. However, it was …

This work addresses a class of conjugated hydrocarbons that are expected to be singlet
diradicals according to the topological Hückel Hamiltonian while possibly satisfying full on …

Heteroaromatic species are commonly found in complex gaseous mixtures, from tobacco
smoke to petroleum and asphaltene combustion products. At high temperatures, C–H bond …

A new molecular switch is presented that combines both biradical and azobenzene motifs to
perform visible light-induced constitutional and stereo-isomerisation within the same …

The present contribution uses a valence bond (VB) perspective to consider the captodative
substitution strategy, a method to enhance the diradical character of (potentially aromatic) …

Recent work has documented conjugate polycyclic hydrocarbons presenting unusual
properties: accepting full on-bond electron pairing, they could be considered as closed-shell …

To improve the catalytic activity of 3 d transition metal catalysts, redox‐active ligands are a
promising tool. These ligands influence the oxidation state of the metal center as well as the …

In optically excited states in molecules and materials, coupling between local electron spins
plays an important role for their photoemission properties and is interesting for potential …
