Aromaticity Concerto in Polycyclic Conjugated Hydrocarbons: Fusion Pattern on Combined Aromaticity Strategy Leads to Distinctive Excited State Photophysics of Dinaphthopentalenes

Long Wang et al.

Summary: Understanding the structure-property relationships of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons (PCHs) is crucial for controlling their electronic properties and developing new optically functional materials. In this study, we present a computational and spectroscopic analysis of the structure-property relationships of dinaphthopentalenes (DNPs). The results reveal that the fusion patterns between 4n pi and 4n + 2 pi units determine the aromaticity and electronic structures, leading to distinctive excited state photophysics. We propose a combined aromaticity design strategy for modulating and tailoring the electronic and optical properties of PCH skeletons.

Organic triplets as free radical pairs: Everything old is new again

N. Colin Baird

Summary: This paper explores the rules of aromaticity and anti-aromaticity for conjugated hydrocarbon rings. By calculating energy and analyzing spin density, it is demonstrated that the triplet states of polybenzenoid hydrocarbons exhibit characteristics of free radicals, and that the relative energies of their isomers can be explained by interacting free radical networks.

Air Stable Chalcogen-Doped Rubicenes with Diradical Character

Liangzhuo Ma et al.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the chalcogen containing rubicenes and their physicochemical properties, revealing their stable diradical character and providing insights into the structure and property relationship of PAH diradicals. The formation of diradical was driven by a pro-aromaticity driving force, which was confirmed by various experimental techniques. The diradical character of rubicenes was visualized by Fractional Occupation Number Weighted Electron Density (FOD) plots.

H-Type-like Aggregation-Accelerated Singlet Fission Process in Dipyrrolonaphthyridinedione Thin Film: The Role of Charge Transfer/Excimer Mixed Intermediate State

Long Wang et al.

Summary: Through experimental observations, it was found that an accelerated singlet fission process occurred in strongly coupled H-type-like aggregation thin films. This was attributed to the close energy levels between the charge transfer state and singlet and excimer states, resulting in a mixed state that promoted the SF process.

High-Lying 31Ag Dark-State-Mediated Singlet Fission

Long Wang et al.

Summary: A new photophysical model involving a high-lying 3(1)A(g) dark-state-mediated ultrafast singlet fission (SF) process in the benzodipyrrolidone (BDPP) skeleton was addressed in this study. The distinctive double excitation character of the 3(1)A(g) dark state, described as the multiexciton (ME) state, allows it to be populated from the initial bright state on an ultrafast time scale. With suitable optical band gap and triplet energy, high triplet yield, and excellent photostability, BDPP emerges as a promising SF candidate for photovoltaic devices, enriching the arsenal of SF materials and contributing new insights into the understanding of dark-state-related photophysics.

Free-triplet generation with improved efficiency in tetracene oligomers through spatially separated triplet pair states

Zhiwei Wang et al.

Summary: It has been demonstrated that the efficiency of free-triplet generation through the singlet fission pathway can be significantly improved by employing a spatially separated state with weak intertriplet coupling, rather than the pathway mediated by spatially adjacent states. This leads to a marked enhancement in free-triplet generation efficiency in solar energy conversion applications.
