“…1,2,3 This class of compounds has also received increasing attention in materials science, because of the possibility to combine electron and spin conduction in molecular electronics such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic fieldeffect transistors (OFETs), and organic magnets. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 In this context, organic diradicals are of particular interest since they can adopt two different spin states, namely singlet and triplet, related to the interaction between the unpaired electrons within the molecular backbone. 4,18 Organic conjugated radicals also allow to gain fundamental insights on the nature of chemical bonds and their delocalization, in addition to their other features such as narrow HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, low-lying doubly-excited states, and redox amphoterism.…”
