Aromaticity of neutral and doubly charged polyacenes
Literature Information
Toshimasa Ishida, Jun-ichi Aihara
The aromatic character of neutral and doubly charged polyacenes was explored in terms of the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity (HOMA) and bond resonance energy (BRE). Doubly charged species of polyacenes are different in global and local aromaticity from the neutral species. Neutral species are fairly uniform in local aromaticity, whereas doubly charged species are more aromatic in the edge rings than in the central rings. Higher polyacenes have been predicted to exist as singlet-state diradicals. It was found that these polyacene diradicals are quite similar in global and local aromaticity to the closed-shell molecular dications. The possible instability of higher polyacenes in closed-shell electronic configuration is associated with the high-lying highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) that contributes little to global aromaticity.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
