Phenalenyl, a zigzag-edged odd alternant hydrocarbon unit can be found in the graphene
nanosheet. Hückel molecular orbital calculations indicate the presence of a nonbonding …

Conspectus The odd alternant hydrocarbon phenalenyl (PLY) can exist in three different
forms, a closed-shell cation, an open-shell radical, and a closed-shell anion, using its …

High gold affinity impurities (halides, bases) in solvents, starting materials, filtration, or drying
agents could affect the reactivity of gold catalyst adversely, which may significantly reduce …

Herein, we have established a phenalenyl-based molecular scaffold which serves as a
potent photoreductant utilizing the empty NBMO in the presence of a base to form a radical …

Catalytic guanylation reactions of amines with carbodiimides have received increasing
attention because of the atom-economical preparation of guanidines since 2003. To date …

Stable phenalenyl radicals have great potential as the basis for new materials for
applications in the field of molecular electronics. In particular, electronically stabilized …

We have demonstrated that the nonbonding molecular orbital (NBMO) of the phenalenyl
(PLY) cation can be used as a Lewis acid catalyst for different organic transformations …

Herein we report a transition-metal-free synthetic protocol for heterobiaryls, one of the most
important pharmacophores in the modern drug industry, employing a new multidonor …

Open-shell phenalenyl chemistry has widely been explored in the last five decades
demonstrating its potential in various applications including molecular switch, spin memory …

We analysed the interactions and aromaticity electron‐density delocalisation observed in π–
π complexes between the phenalenyl radical and acenaphthylene, and the DNA and RNA …
