Resonance-stabilised hydrocarbon radicals serve as reaction intermediates in flames,
plasmas, atmospheres and interstellar space. Their stability is conferred by delocalisation of …

Triisopropylsilylethynyl-substituted acenes (TIPS-acenes) have received prominent attention
in the field of singlet fission, the pentacene derivative being an exothermic singlet fission …

Since the conception of the electron pair bond, Lewis structures have been used to illustrate
the electronic structure of a molecule in its ground state. But, for excited states, most …

We apply a combination of state-of-the-art experimental and quantum-chemical methods to
elucidate the electronic and chemical energetics of hydrogen adduction to a model open …

We report the spectroscopic observation of the jet-cooled para-ethynylbenzyl (PEB) radical,
a resonance-stabilized isomer of C9H7. The radical was produced in a discharge of p …

The laboratory detection of previously unobserved resonance-stabilized C 9 H 5 and C 9 H
9 radicals in the supersonic expansion of a hydrocarbon discharge source is reported. The …

SiC 2 is vastly abundant in the circumstellar envelope of carbon-rich stars, such as IRC+
10216, and acts as a key molecular tracer of circumstellar" dust", aiding in the formation of …

The D 0 (2 A ″)–D 1 (2 A ″) electronic transition of resonance-stabilized radical C9H9
isomers cis-and trans-meta-vinylbenzyl (MVB) has been investigated using resonant two …

Abstract The 4-methyl-3-azabenzyl radical was generated from 2, 5-lutidine in a corona
excited supersonic expansion, and its fluorescence emission spectrum was recorded. Two …

This thesis embodies two focuses, pertaining to the observation and identification of
atmospherically relevant radicals involved in mechanisms with global ramifications on …
