Recently, Baird (anti) aromaticity has been referred to as a description of excited-state (anti)
aromaticity. With the term of Baird's rule, recent studies have intensively verified that the …

Gain of aromaticity or relief of antiaromaticity along a reaction path are important factors to
consider in mechanism studies. Analysis of such changes along potential energy surfaces …

It is commonly accepted that a large π-conjugated system is necessary to realize low-energy
electronic transitions. Contrary to this prevailing notion, we present a new class of light …

Aromaticity is typically regarded as an intrinsic property of a molecule, correlated with
electron delocalization, stability, and other properties. Small variations in the molecular …

Molecular emitters simultaneously generating light at different wavelengths have wide
applications. With a small molecule, however, it is challenging to realize two independent …

Aromaticity, in general, can promote a given reaction by stabilizing a transition state or a
product via a mobility of π electrons in a cyclic structure. Similarly, such a promotion could …

To gain insights into the coupling of conformational and electronic variables, we exploited
steric hindrance to modulate a polycyclic skeleton with a bent conformation in the S0 state …

We describe reductive dehydrogenative cyclizations that form hepta-, nona-, and decacyclic
anionic graphene subunits from mono-and bis-helicenes with an embedded five-membered …
