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 …

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 …

Since the latter quarter of the twentieth century, main group chemistry has undergone
significant advances. Power's timely review in 2010 highlighted the inherent differences …

The empty pz-orbital of a three-coordinate organoboron compound leads to its electron-
deficient properties, which make it an excellent π-acceptor in conjugated organic …

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 …

The last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning decade of the twenty-first
witnessed spectacular discoveries in the chemistry of the heavier main-group elements. The …

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 past decade has witnessed renewed interest and numerous unexpected discoveries in
the area of main group organometallic chemistry. Unusual bonding modes have been …

The success of homogeneous catalysis can be attributed largely to the development of a
diverse range of ligand frameworks that have been used to tune the behavior of various …
