This Review covers the recent developments (2005–2015) in the design, synthesis,
characterization, and application of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals. It was designed to give …

Structurally diverse pyridinium salts are quite familiar structures in many natural products
and bioactive pharmaceuticals. Over the centuries, these privileged scaffolds have played …

Two-dimensionally extended, polycyclic heteroaromatic molecules (heterocyclic
nanographenes) are a highly versatile class of organic materials, applicable as functional …

With the aim of defining the spatial extent associated to an electronic transition, of particular
relevance in the case of charge-transfer (CT) excitations, a new index, evaluated only from …

A novel and efficient Rh/O2 catalytic system has been developed and shown to catalyze
highly efficient oxidative C–H activation/annulation reactions, producing a broad range of …

Organic trisradicals featuring threefold symmetry have attracted significant interest because
of their unique magnetic properties associated with spin frustration. Herein, we describe the …

A novel pyrrole-fused azacoronene family was synthesized via oxidative
cyclodehydrogenation of the corresponding hexaarylbenzenes as the key step, and the …

New redox systems with three oxidation states are highly sought-after, for example, for redox-
flow battery applications, selective reducing agents, or organic electronics. Herein, we …

A simple method for the efficient synthesis of highly substituted pyrido [1, 2-a] quinolinium-
and quinolizino [3, 4, 5, 6-ija] quinolinium-based polyheteroaromatic compounds via …

Over one century after its discovery, pyrylium salt chemistry has been extensively applied in
preparing light emitters, photocatalysts, and sensitizers. In most of these studies, pyrylium …
