Open-shell radicals are usually thermodynamically and kinetically unstable due to their
incompletely satisfied valency. However, the rapid development of radical chemistry in the …

Conspectus Aromaticity is one of the most important concepts in organic chemistry to
understand the electronic properties of cyclic π-conjugated molecules. Over a century …

New forms of molecular nanocarbon particularly looped polyarenes adopting various
topologies contribute to the fundamental science and practical applications. Here we report …

The traditional design strategies for highly bright solid‐state luminescent materials rely on
weakening the intermolecular π–π interactions, which may limit diversity when developing …

In this Feature Article, we highlight our recent efforts toward stable open-shell singlet
diradicaloids and polyradicaloids. A brief review on the historical works in the area is …

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 …

This Perspective discusses salient features of the spin-flip approach to strong correlation
and describes different methods that sprung from this idea. The spin-flip treatment exploits …

Aromaticity can be defined by the ability of a molecule to sustain a ring current when placed
in a magnetic field. Hückel's rule states that molecular rings with [4 n+ 2] π-electrons are …

Aromaticity is a vital concept that governs the electronic properties of π-conjugated organic
molecules and has long been restricted to 2D systems. The aromaticity in 3D π-conjugated …

The unique open-shell electronic structure of neutral π-radicals has inspired research on
novel molecular materials for over a century. In recent years, rapid development in carbon …
