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 …

We demonstrate that an in situ generated di-reduced phenalenyl (PLY) species accumulates
sufficiently high energy and acts as a super electron donor to generate aryl radicals from aryl …

Recently, long-lived, organic radical species have attracted much attention from chemists
and material scientists because of their unique electronic properties derived from their …

An olympicenyl radical, a spin 1/2 hydrocarbon radical with C 2 v symmetry and uneven spin
distribution, remains elusive despite the considerable theoretical research interest. Herein …

A highly modular synthesis of BNB-and BOB-doped phenalenyls is presented. Treatment of
the 1, 8-naphthalenediyl-bridged boronic acid anhydride 1 with LiAlH4/Me3SiCl afforded the …

Molecular Kekulé diradicals have been demonstrated to show unique optoelectronic
properties as a function of their diradical character. A series of thienoquinoidal …

By revealing the robust photooxidant properties of phenalenyl-based organic Lewis acid, we
have introduced this moiety as an effective organophotocatalyst for the oxidative azolation of …

The present study demonstrates the first transition-metal-free catalytic C-alkylation via a
borrowing hydrogen pathway for the α-alkylation of ketone, synthesis of substituted …

We herein report a novel square-planar complex [CoIIL], which was synthesized using the
electronically interesting phenalenyl-derived ligand LH2= 9, 9′-(ethane-1, 2-diylbis …

Solid-state radical generation is an attractive but underutilized methodology in the catalytic
strong bond activation process, such as the aryl-halide bond. Traditionally, such a process of …
