Open-shell radicals are usually thermodynamically and kinetically unstable due to their
incompletely satisfied valency. However, the rapid development of radical chemistry in the …

Heterogeneous catalysts have been widely used for photocatalysis, which is a highly
important process for energy conversion, owing to their merits such as easy separation of …

Open-shell molecules such as radicals, carbenes, and electronically excited-state molecules
exhibit high energies, and thus, in general, they are quite reactive. 1 The short-lived species …

Aromaticity is an important concept to understand the stability and physical properties of π-
conjugated molecules. Recent studies on pro-aromatic and anti-aromatic molecules …

Low band gap (Eg< 1.5 eV) polycyclic hydrocarbons have become one of the most important
types of materials for many applications, for example, as semiconductors in organic field …

Organic heterocyclic fused ring compounds possess remarkable nonlinear optical (NLO)
amplitude, are potentially employed in optical computing and nano-photonics. Herein …

Conspectus Highly conjugated hydrocarbons have attracted interest for use as active
materials in electronic devices such as organic field effect transistors (OFET) and organic …

Abstract Azulene 1, pentalene 2, and heptalene 3 are classical nonalternant hydrocarbons.
Their fascinating π-frameworks, consecutive arrangements of odd-membered carbocycles …

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of 6, 12-diarylindeno [1, 2-b]
fluorenes (IFs). Functionalization with electron donor and acceptor groups influences the …

In this study, first attempt has been made for theoretical designing of quinacridone (QA) dye
and new QA-based compounds (QA-1 to QA-9) were proposed by installing auxiliary donors …
