DOI: 10.1021/jacs.2c07562
Abstract: We propose a rational method for evaluating the diradical character of the photochromic phenoxyl-imidazolyl radical complex (PIC) derivatives based on their radical-radical coupling reaction rates. PIC consists of an imidazole ring, a phenoxyl ring, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.5c17094
Abstract: Indenofluorenes (IFs) have received great interest owing to their intrinsic antiaromaticity, open-shell diradical character, and narrow band gaps. Herein, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of a hitherto unknown m-QDM-type IFs-based diradicaloid derived from… read more here.
