Diradicals

M Abe - Chemical Reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
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 …

Real-time observation of multiexcitonic states in ultrafast singlet fission using coherent 2D electronic spectroscopy

AA Bakulin, SE Morgan, TB Kehoe, MWB Wilson… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Singlet fission is the spin-allowed conversion of a spin-singlet exciton into a pair of spin-
triplet excitons residing on neighbouring molecules. To rationalize this phenomenon, a …

Charge transfer–mediated singlet fission

N Monahan, XY Zhu - Annual review of physical chemistry, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Singlet fission, the splitting of a singlet exciton into two triplet excitons in molecular materials,
is interesting not only as a model many-electron problem, but also as a process with …
