The electronic properties of finite-sized graphene fragments are strongly dependent on their
topological structures. The existence of two or more extended zigzag edges could lead to …

The field of organic electronics has been prolific in the last couple of years, leading to the
design and synthesis of several molecular semiconductors presenting a mobility in excess of …

Since the first isolation of 1, 3, 5, 7-tetra-tert-butyl-s-indacene in 1986, core-expanded s-and
as-indacenes have attracted intensive interest. However, there is no reported synthesis of …

Singlet fission offers the potential to overcome thermodynamic limits in solar cells by
converting the energy of a single absorbed photon into two distinct triplet excitons. However …

The dearomatization of 3‐nitroindoles through a chiral‐phosphine‐mediated [3+ 2]
annulation reaction is described. This method makes use of readily available 3‐nitroindoles …

Inclusion of quinoidal cores in conjugated hydrocarbons is a common strategy to modulate
the properties of diradicaloids formed by aromaticity recovery within the quinoidal unit. Here …

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 …

The preparation of a series of dibenzo-and tetrabenzo-fused fluoreno [3, 2-b] fluorenes is
disclosed, and the diradicaloid properties of these molecules are compared with those of a …

Carbon atoms have the potential to produce a variety of fascinating all-carbon structures
with amazing electronic and mechanical properties. Over the last few decades, several …

Realizing both high-performance and air-stability is key to advancing singlet-diradical-based
semiconductors to practical applications and realizing their material potential associated …
