The interplay of antiaromaticity and diradical character in diarenoindacenes and diindenoarenes

Abstract

. We also established that our quinoidal/diradicaloid compounds possess large, atypical anti-ohmic conductance enhancement of their transport properties at longer molecular lengths, which suggests that this class of organic materials is a promising candidate for creating highly conductive and tunable nanoscale wires. Taken as a whole, our studies show that traditional physical organic chemistry concepts can be readily applied to modern organic materials research.
