Heterogeneous catalysts have been widely used for photocatalysis, which is a highly
important process for energy conversion, owing to their merits such as easy separation of …

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 …

Aromaticity is an important concept to understand the stability and physical properties of π-
conjugated molecules. Recent studies on pro-aromatic and anti-aromatic molecules …

Low band gap (Eg< 1.5 eV) polycyclic hydrocarbons have become one of the most important
