Double-bond delocalization in non-alternant hydrocarbons induces inverted singlet-triplet gaps

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules where the first excited singlet state is lower in energy than the first excited triplet state have the potential to revolutionize OLEDs. This inverted singlet-triplet gap violates Hund's rule and currently there are only a few molecules which are ...

Helical versus linear Jahn-Teller distortions in allene and spiropentadiene radical cations

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

The allene radical cation can be stabilized both by Jahn-Teller distortion of the bond lengths and by torsion of the end-groups. However, only the latter happens and the allene radical cation relaxes into a twisted D-2 symmetry structure with equal double- ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Iwona Swiderska, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Kun-Han Lin, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...

Trisubstituted geminal diazaalkene derived transient 1,2-carbodications

Shubhajit Das

The coulombic repulsion between two adjacent cation centres of 1,2-carbodications is known to decrease with pi- and/or n-donor substituents by a positive charge delocalization. Here we report the delocalization of the positive charge of transient 1,2-carbo ...

Open and Closed Radicals: Local Geometry around Unpaired Electrons Governs Magic-Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Performance

David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Gabriele Stevanato, Manuel Cordova, Yu Rao

The development of magic-angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS DNP) has allowed atomic-level characterization of materials for which conventional solid-state NMR is impractical due to the lack of sensitivity. The rapid progress of MAS DNP has be ...
