Abstract

As suggested by simple topological arguments, monoradical arrangements of properly-oriented polycondensed phenalenyl units can produce highly-delocalized spin distributions. This work examines under which geometrical conditions and to which extent these flat distributions take place. UDFT calculations performed on various instances gathering up to 19 such fused phenalene units confirm the spin-density spreading over entire conjugated skeletons. This occurs, however, with more or less uniformity depending on the compacity of the arrangement, and simple linear stretches do not actually support the delocalized picture. Thermodynamic stability of the radicals is assessed, which follows their delocalization degree. Monocations and monoanions derived from these delocalized radicals are expected to support likewise delocalized charges, as checked by various calculations on corresponding closed-shell ions. Altogether, these attributes might lead to possible applications in organic design, electronic devices, and spintronics.

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.
