Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research interest since the
breakthrough of graphene. Their unique optical, electronic, and mechanical properties hold …

Aromaticity cannot be measured directly by any physical or chemical experiment because it
is not a well-defined magnitude. Its quantification is done indirectly from the measure of …

In 1972 Erich Clar formulated his aromatic pi-sextet rule that allows discussing qualitatively
the aromatic character of benzenoid species. Now, forty years later, Clar's aromatic pi-sextet …

Graphene nanoribbons are fundamental components to the development of graphene
nanoelectronics. At the nanoscale, electronic confinement effects and electronic edge states …

The edge of two dimensional (2D) graphene, as the surface of a three dimensional (3D)
crystal, plays a crucial role in the determination of its physical, electronic and chemical …

Increasing the voltage of organic electrodes is critical in improving their energy density.
Here, we examined the correlation between the electron delocalization (aromaticity) and the …

In an attempt to describe and rationalize the elusive aromatic properties of graphene by first-
principles calculations in a simple and transparent way, we have constructed numerous …

Poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene), or SBS, is commonly added to asphalt mixtures to improve
their thermal stability and mechanical performance under working conditions in pavements …

We show in this work that conjugated π-electron molecular chains can, in quite specific and
understood circumstances, become more conductive the longer they get, in contradiction to …

By bridging graphene and benzene through a well-defined sequence of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and their inherent shell structure, it is shown that graphene is actually a …
