Unimolecular electronics (UME) narrowly defined (sensu stricto), 1 or molecular-scale
electronics, 2 is the study of electrical processes measured or controlled on a molecular …

This Review surveys the experimental and synthetic history of three classic antiaromatic
cores: cyclobutadiene, borole, and pentalene. The coverage extends from the bare …

Understanding and controlling the electronic structure of molecules is crucial when
designing and optimizing new organic semiconductor materials. We report the …

Aromaticity is a fundamental concept in chemistry. It is described by Hückel's rule that states
that a cyclic planar π-system is aromatic when it shares 4 n+ 2 π-electrons and antiaromatic …

Understanding electron transport across π− π-stacked systems will help to answer
fundamental questions about biochemical redox processes and benefit the design of new …

Single-molecule electronic devices provide researchers with an unprecedented ability to
relate novel physical phenomena to molecular chemical structures. Typically, conjugated …

A direct, efficient and versatile strategy for the modulation of optoelectronic and magnetic
properties of indeno [1, 2-b] fluorene has been developed. 4-Substituted-2, 6 …

Compounds that can be labeled as “aromatic chameleons” are π-conjugated compounds
that are able to adjust their π-electron distributions so as to comply with the different rules of …

The past decade has seen a remarkable surge in studies of thin-film and single-molecule
electronics, due in no small part to the development and advancement of experimental …

Described herein are the steric promoted synthesis and characterization of symmetric,
unsymmetric, and benzo-extended indeno [1, 2-b] fluorenes 1–5, including the isolation of …
