Excited State-Specific CASSCF Theory for the Torsion of Ethylene

State-specific complete active space self-consistent field (SS-CASSCF) theory has emerged as a promising route to accurately predict electronically excited energy surfaces away from molecular equilibria. However, its accuracy and practicality for chemical ...

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

Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

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

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- ...

Light-Responsive Oligothiophenes Incorporating Photochromic Torsional Switches

Kevin Sivula, Emilie Baudat, Giuseppe Sforazzini, Augustina Jozeliunaite

We present a quaterthiophene and sexithiophene that can reversibly change their effective pi-conjugation length through photoexcitation. The reported compounds make use of light-responsive molecular actuators consisting of an azobenzene attached to a bithi ...

Activation of aminocyclopropanes via radical intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

Aminocyclopropanes are versatile building blocks for accessing high value-added nitrogen-containing products. To control ring-opening promoted by ring strain, the Lewis acid activation of donor-acceptor substituted systems is now well established. Over the ...

Overcome Low Intrinsic Conductivity of NiOx Through Triazinyl Modification for Highly Efficient and Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Bowen Yang, Hui Chen, Jiabao Yang, Tong Wang

Nickel oxide (NiOx) is a promising hole transport material in inverted organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells. However, its low intrinsic conductivity hinders its further improvement in device performance. Here, we employ a trimercapto-s-tri ...
