Abstract
Persistent chiral organic open-shell systems have captured growing interest due to their potential applications in organic spintronic and optoelectronic devices. Nevertheless, the integration of configurationally stable chirality into an organic open-shell system continues to pose challenges in molecular design. The π-extended skeleton incorporated in spiro-conjugated carbocycles can provide robust chiroptical properties and a significant stabilization of the excited and ionic radical states. However, this approach has been relatively less explored in the design of persistent organic open-shell systems. We report here the (S,S)-, (R,R)-, and meso-isomers of doubly spiro-conjugated carbocycles featuring flat and rigid carbon-bridged para-phenylenevinylene (CPV) of different conjugation lengths connected by two spiro-carbon centers, which we denote D-spiro-CPV for its quasi-dimeric structure. Our synthetic method based on a double lithiation cyclization approach enables facile production of D-spiro-CPV. D-spiro-CPVs exhibit circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with high fluorescence quantum yields (ΦFL) resulting in a high CPL brightness of 21 M-1 cm-1 and also exhibit high thermal and photostability. The monoradical cation of D-spiro-CPV absorbing near-infrared light is notably persistent, exhibiting a half-life of 570 h under ambient conditions due to doubly spiro-conjugative stabilization. Theoretical and electrochemical studies indicate the radical cation of D-spiro-CPVs presents a non-Aufbau electron filling, exhibiting inversion of the energy level of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) and the highest (doubly) occupied molecular orbitals with the SOMO level even below the HOMO-1 level (double SHI effect). Our discoveries provide valuable insights into non-Aufbau molecules and the development of configurationally stable, optically active persistent radicals.

Abstract
Image-sensor technology is the foundation of many emerging applications, where the photodetector is designed to interact with incoming photons that have specific colors or wavelengths. A color filter is therefore crucial to enable the selective spectral response of the photodetector and to eliminate the crosstalk interference resulting from ambient lights. Unfortunately, a reduced detection sensitivity of the photodetector is inevitable due to an imperfect light filtering, which greatly limits the practical applications of selective-response photodetectors. Herein, we demonstrate a bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic composite featuring a self-filtering light responsive characteristic. Through a careful optimization of the BHJ film, the organic photodetector (OPD) demonstrates a high-selective spectral response to the infrared (IR) radiation without the need of applying a color filter. As a result, the self-filtering top-illuminated OPD exhibits a narrowband external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 53% with a narrow full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 56 nm centering at 1080 nm. A high responsivity of 0.46 A W-1 is also achieved at 1080 nm wavelength due to the self-filtering characteristic.

Abstract
Polytriarylamine is a popular hole-transporting materials (HTMs) despite its suboptimal conductivity and significant recombination at the interface in a solar cell setup. Having noted insufficient conjugation among the triarylamine units along the polymer backbone, we inserted a bithiophene unit between two triarylamine units through iron-catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling of a triarylamine/thiophene monomer so that two units conjugate effectively via four quinoidal rings when the molecule functions as HTM. The obtained triarylamine/bithiophene copolymer (TABT) used as HTM showed a high-performance in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (MAPbI3 ) solar cells. Mesityl substituted TABT forms a uniform film, shows high hole-carrier mobility, and has an ionization potential (IP=5.40 eV) matching that of MAPbI3 . We fabricated a solar cell device with a power conversion efficiency of 21.3 % and an open-circuit voltage of 1.15 V, which exceeds the performance of devices using reference standard such as poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA) and Spiro-OMeTAD.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of polysubstituted 1,1,2,3-tetraarylazulen-6-ones through the ring opening and scaffold rearrangement of spirocycles in the presence of ferric chloride under ambient conditions. Control experiments shown that this reaction may proceeded through a radical cation mechanism and futher theoretical calculation revealed that the electronic distribution of the radical cation intermediate dominated this oxidative rearrangement instead of dehydrogenation. It is noteworthy that some interesting photophysical properties, including aggregation-induced emission, halochromism, and two-photon fluorescence, were discovered for the azulen-6-one 2a, making them to work as promising functional materials in optical-related fields.
