The characteristics of the edge state, which is a peculiar magnetic state in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) that originates from electron-electron correlation an edge-localized π-state, are investigated by preparing and characterizing quarteranthene molecules. molecular geometry was determined X-ray analysis consistent with zigzag-edge-localized structure unpaired electrons. localized electrons responsible for (room-temperature ferromagnetic correlation), optical (the lowest-lying...
The dependence of the second hyperpolarizability (gamma) on diradical character (y) for singlet systems is investigated using a model compound, p-quinodimethane (PQM) molecule with different both-end carbon-carbon (C-C) bond lengths, by several ab initio molecular orbital and density functional theory methods. based UHF calculations indicates that at equilibrium geometry PQM in ground state primarily exhibits quinoid structure, whereas increases when increasing C-C lengths. At highest level...
Ones and twos: The two-photon absorption cross sections (σ(2)) of singlet diradical hydrocarbons with phenalenyl peripheral groups (see scheme) are larger than those closed-shell aromatic by an order magnitude or more comparable to π-conjugated compounds strong electron donor acceptor substituents.

Although most third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are closed-shell singlet systems, this Letter theoretically shows that the NLO properties drastically enhanced in symmetric open-shell diradical systems with intermediate character and further reveals enhancement is associated ferromagnetic antiferromagnetic interactions. This new paradigm opens up a promising area for designing materials.
Understanding the electronic structure of singlet diradical state tackles fundamentals chemical bond itself. The character is a key factor, which determines reactivity, reaction products, as well chemical/physical (electronic, optical and magnetic) properties, although this quantity defined in purely theoretical manner. In Letter, on basis valence configuration interaction scheme, we present an explicit connection between measured quantities obtained from one- two-photon absorption spectra...
