Pd(II)-Templated End-to-End Cyclization of Doubly N-Confused Bilatrienes: A Stable Singlet Diradicaloid Dye with Efficient Absorption across the Solar Spectrum

Abstract We report a highly stable singlet diradicaloid (Pd1-dimer), formed through a Pd(II)-templated end-to-end cyclization of a linear N-confused bilatriene (1). This unique Pd-bridged double-loop complex exhibits an open-shell singlet diradicaloid ground state with an extreme...

Peripheral Functionalization of Antiaromatic 5,15-Dioxaporphyrin for the Synthesis of Oligomers

Abstract Partial peripheral functionalization of the antiaromatic nickel(II) 5,15-dioxaporphyrin (NiDOP) was explored to create substituted products suitable as substrates for oligomer synthesis. Syn- and anti-type diaryl-substituted NiDOPs were synthesized from tribromo-substitu...
