The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

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 …

A category of parallel π‐stacking interaction, termed pancake bonding, is surveyed. The
main characteristics are: the interaction occurs among radicals with highly delocalized π …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
box, constitutes a modular receptor that has facilitated the discovery of many host–guest …

Radical-pairing interactions between conjugated organic π-radicals are relative newcomers
to the inventory of molecular recognition motifs explored in supramolecular chemistry. The …

In this work, we investigate the electronic properties and thermoelectric performance of
triangulene π-dimer junctions with the twist angle from 0 to 60 by using first-principles …

A fast and multipurpose energy decomposition analysis (EDA) program, called XEDA, is
introduced for quantitative analysis of intermolecular interactions. This program contains a …

Singlet fission is a photophysical process in molecules and molecular aggregates, in which
a singlet exciton generated by irradiation splits into two triplet excitons. Recently, singlet …

The π bonds between organic radicals have generated excitement as an orthogonal
interaction for designing self‐assembling architectures in water. A systematic investigation of …
