Abstract
Open-shell systems with extensive π-conjugation have fascinating properties due to their narrow bandgaps and spin interactions. In this work, we report neutral open-shell di- and polyradical conjugated materials exhibiting intriguing optical and magnetic properties. Our key design advance is the planarized geometry allowing for greater interaction between adjacent spins. This results in absorption and emission in the near infrared at 803 and 1050 nanometers, respectively, and we demonstrate a unique electronic structure where a bright zwitterionic excited state is the lowest-accessible electronic transition. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and superconducting quantum interference device measurements reveal that our materials are open-shell singlets with different degrees of spin interactions, dynamics, and antiferromagnetic properties, which likely contributed to the formation of their emissive zwitterionic singlet excited state and near-infrared emission. In addition, our materials show reversible and stable electrochromic switching with more than 500 cycles, indicating their potential for optoelectronic and electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
π-Conjugated chiral nanorings with intriguing electronic structures and chiroptical properties have attracted considerable interests in synthetic chemistry and materials science. We present the design principles to access new chiral macrocycles (1 and 2) that are essentially built on the key components of main-group electron-donating carbazolyl moieties or the π-expanded aza[7]helicenes. Both macrocycles show the unique molecular conformations with a (quasi) figure-of-eight topology as a result of the conjugation patterns of 2,2',7,7'-spirobifluorenyl in 1 and triarylamine-coupled aza[7]helicene-based building blocks in 2. This electronic nature of redox-active, carbazole-rich backbones enabled these macrocycles to be readily oxidized chemically and electrochemically, leading to the sequential production of a series of positively charged polycationic open-shell cyclophanes. Their redox-dependent electronic states of the resulting multispin polyradicals have been characterized by VT-ESR, UV/Vis-NIR absorption and spectroelectrochemical measurements. The singlet (ΔES-T=-1.29 kcal mol-1) and a nearly degenerate singlet-triplet ground state (ΔES-T(calcd)=-0.15 kcal mol-1 and ΔES-T(exp)=0.01 kcal mol-1) were proved for diradical dications 12+2⋅ and 22+2⋅, respectively. Our work provides an experimental proof for the construction of electron-donating new chiral nanorings, and more importantly for highly charged polyradicals with potential applications in chirospintronics and organic conductors.

Abstract
This work addresses a class of conjugated hydrocarbons that are expected to be singlet diradicals according to the topological Hückel Hamiltonian while possibly satisfying full on-bond electron pairing. These systems possess two degenerate singly occupied molecular orbitals (SOMOs), but aromaticity brought by properly positioned six-membered rings does prevent Jahn-Teller distortions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed on two emblematic examples confirm the strong bond-length alternation in the closed-shell solutions and the clear spatial symmetry in the open-shell spin-unrestricted determinants, the latter solution always being found to have significantly lower energy. Since the SOMOs are here of different symmetry, the wave function is free from ionic valence-bond component, and spin decontamination of the unrestricted DFT solutions and wave function calculations at the CASSCF-plus-second-order-perturbation level confirm the expected pure diradical character of such molecules. In contrast to disjoint diradicals, the SOMOs of present systems have large amplitudes on neighbor atoms, and we propose to name them entangled pure diradicals, further providing some prescription rules for their design. Additional calculations point out the qualitative contrast between these molecules and the related diradicaloids.

Abstract
In this work, we provide a general strategy to stabilize the ground state of polyradical(oid)s and make higher spin states thermally accessible. As a proof of concept, we propose to merge two planar fully π-conjugated diradical(oid)s to obtain a planar and cross-conjugated tetraradical(oid). Using multireference quantum chemistry methods, we show that the designed tetraradical(oid) is stabilized by aromaticity and delozalization in the π-system and has six thermally accessible spin states within 1.72 kcal/mol. Analysis of the electronic structure of these six states of the tetraradical(oid) shows that its frontier π-system consists of two weakly interacting subsystems: aromatic cycles and four unpaired electrons. Conjugation between unpaired electrons, which favors closed-shell structures, is mitigated by delocalization and the aromaticity of the bridging groups, leading to the synergistic cross-coupling between two diradical(oid) subunits to stabilize the tetraradical(oid) electronic structure.

Abstract
The precise synthesis of cycloarenes remains a challenging topic in both organic chemistry and materials science due to their unique fully fused macrocyclic π-conjugated structure. Herein, a series of alkoxyl- and aryl-cosubstituted cycloarenes (kekulene and edge-extended kekulene derivatives, K1-K3) were conveniently synthesized and an unexpected transformation of the anthryl-containing cycloarene K3 into a carbonylated cycloarene derivative K3-R was disclosed by controlling the temperature and gas atmosphere of the Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed cyclization reaction. All their molecular structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The crystallographic data, NMR measurements, and theoretical calculations reveal their rigid quasi-planar skeletons, dominant local aromaticities, and decreasing intermolecular π-π stacking distance with extension of the two opposite edges. The much lower oxidation potential for K3 by cyclic voltammetry explains its unique reactivity. Moreover, carbonylated cycloarene derivative K3-R shows a remarkable stability, large diradical character, a small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔES-T = -1.81 kcal mol-1), and weak intramolecular spin-spin coupling. Most importantly, it represents the first example of carbonylated cycloarene diradicaloids as well as the first example of radical-acceptor cycloarenes and will shed some light on synthesis of extended kekulenes and conjugated macrocyclic diradicaloids and polyradicaloids.

Abstract
Metal-organic complexes with radical characteristics are unique species attracting immense attention in recent years due to their peculiar properties and promising applicability in a wide variety of innovative research fields. However, the reported complexes typically do not exceed diradicality. This study systematically investigates a series of square planar neutral Ni-bis(1,2-dithiolene) and Ni-bis(1,2-dioxolene) complexes with linear, branched, and macrocyclic configurations via ab initio calculations. The linear Ni-complexes display strong singlet diradical characters, while their branched counterparts can also exhibit moderate singlet multiradical characters. Importantly, the macrocyclic Ni-complexes can possess extremely strong singlet multiradical characters up to dodeca-radicality along with their global antiaromaticity and hence strong induced ring current in the presence of an external magnetic field, ascribed to the localization of unpaired α and β electrons residing in the highest few molecular orbitals at different molecular sites, minimizing their coupling and annihilation. Our work represents the first indication in the rational design of novel multiradical neutral antiaromatic macrocyclic complexes for potential applications in molecular machines and electronic devices.

Abstract
In this study, a set of 10 positional indolocarbazole (ICz) isomers substituted with dicyanomethylene groups connected via para or meta positions are computationally investigated with the aim of exploring the efficiency of structural isomerism and substitution position in controlling their optical and electronic properties. Unrestricted density functional theory (DFT), a spin-flip time-dependent DFT approach, and the multireference CASSCF/NEVPT2 method have been applied to correlate the diradical character with the energetic trends (i.e., singlet-triplet energy gaps). In addition, the nucleus-independent chemical shift together with ACID plots and Raman intensity calculations were used to strengthen the relationship between the diradical character and (anti)aromaticity. Our study reveals that the substitution pattern and structural isomerism represent a very effective way to tune the diradical properties in ICz-based systems with meta-substituted systems with a V-shaped structure displaying the largest diradical character. Thus, this work contributes to the elucidation of the challenging chemical reactivity and physical properties of diradicaloid systems, guiding experimental chemists to produce new molecules with desirable properties.

Abstract
The solution-phase synthesis of (hetero)cycloarenes with a well-defined size and geometric structure remains a challenging topic in organic chemistry and materials science. Herein, two novel nonplanar N,S-heterocycloarenes (PTZ1 and PTZ2) containing two/three alternate phenothiazine-co-phenanthrene units were conveniently synthesized. The smaller size heterocycloarene PTZ1 adopts a unique butterfly-shaped geometry and shows moderate supramolecular host–guest interactions with both fullerenes C60 and C70; whereas the higher homologue PTZ2 has a saddle-shaped conformation and demonstrates no obvious encapsulation with C60 or C70. Meanwhile, benefiting from the relatively ordered molecular packing, the thin film of PTZ1 behaved as a p-type semiconductor, while the more distorted PTZ2 does not display any field-effect characteristics. Particularly, upon the oxidation of heterocycloarene PTZ1 by Oxone, an unusual bis(sulfone-co-orthoquinone) product PTZ1-Oxi with an arc-shaped geometry is obtained and identified by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Our findings markedly expand the known chemistry of (hetero)cycloarenes and open a new path for their further functionalization. Two novel fully fused heterocycloarenes consisting of nonplanar phenothiazine building units have been designed and successfully synthesized, which show size-dependent properties and unusual reactivity.![]()

Abstract
The synthesis of new carbazole-fused polycyclic aromatics with interesting geometry and useful properties was explored using Scholl reactions. As found from the Scholl reactions of substrates having two carbazole units linked at different positions through o-phenylene, oxidative coupling of carbazole units occurred in a regioselective manner with new carbon-carbon bonds preferably formed at C3 and C4 in N-alkyl carbazoles. A new N-containing aromatic bowl was characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and new p-type organic semiconductors exhibited field effect mobility of up to 0.070 cm2 V-1 s-1 in solution-processed thin-film transistors.

Abstract
Although porous organic cages (POCs), particularly imine-linked (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) ones, have advanced significantly over the last few decades, the reversible nature of imine linkages makes them prone to hydrolysis and structural collapse, severely limiting their applications under moist or water conditions. Herein, seven water-stable hydrazone-linked (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N) POCs are prepared through a simple coupling of the same supramolecular tetraformylresorcin[4]arene cavitand with different dihydrazide linkers. Their structures are all determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, demonstrating rich structural diversity from the [2 + 4] lantern, [3 + 6] triangular prism, and unprecedented [4 + 8] square prism to the extra-large [6 + 12] octahedron. In addition, they respectively exhibit tunable window diameters and cavity volumes ranging from about 5.4 to 11.1 nm and 580 to 6800 Å3. Moreover, their application in the water environment for pollutant removal was explored, indicating that they can effectively eliminate various types of contaminants from water, including radionuclide waste, toxic heavy metal ions, and organic micropollutants. This work demonstrates a convenient method for rationally constructing versatile robust POCs and presents their great application potentialities in water medium.

Abstract
A hexaradicaloid molecule with alternating Kekulé and non-Kekulé connectivities between adjacent spin centers was obtained by fusing two classic conjugation motifs, found respectively in the Chichibabin and Schlenk hydrocarbons, into a coronoid structure. 1 H NMR, ESR and SQUID experiments, combined with computational analyses reveal that the system has a singlet ground state, characterized by a significant hexaradicaloid character ( γ 0 = 0.826, γ 1 = γ 2 = 0.773). It possesses multiple thermally accessible high-spin states (up to the septet), with uniform energy gaps of ca 1.0 kcal/mol between consecutive multiplicities. In line with its open-shell character, the coronoid has a small electronic bandgap of ca. 0.8 eV and undergoes two consecutive one-electron oxidations at low potentials, yielding cationic forms with extended near-infrared absorption. The hexaradicaloid, which combines open-shell and macrocyclic contributions to its π conjugation, provides an example of a design strategy for multistate spin switches and redox-amphoteric NIR dyes.

Abstract
A nanocapsule composed of multiple carbazole panels (ca. 12 panels) was quantitatively generated from bent carbazole-based amphiphiles in water. Unlike previously reported macrocycles and coordination cages bearing several carbazole panels, the resultant nanocapsule displays enhanced emissivity and improved electrochemical stability as compared with the monomeric amphiphile. The spectroscopic properties of substituted coumarin and boron-dipyrromethene dyes can be modulated upon encapsulation by the nanocapsule in water. In the cavity, a highly blue-shifted absorption band is observed from largely twisted coumarin dyes and two absorption bands are found from boron-dipyrromethene dimers stacked in an unusual L-shaped fashion. Moreover, the encapsulated dimers exhibit unique excimer-like emission.

Abstract
A hexapyrrolohexaazacoronene (HPHAC) with 12 less-bulky peripheral ethyl groups than its aryl-containing HPHAC counterpart was synthesized to investigate the innate character of HPHAC. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that HPHAC had a planar structure and close packing because of CH-π interactions between the alkyl groups and the HPHAC core. Compared to the previously reported HPHAC decorated with 12 peripheral aryl groups, this electron-rich π-system exhibited reversible multistep oxidations at low potentials and easily formed mono- and dicationic salts and charge-transfer (CT) complexes with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane. These oxidized species exhibited clear changes in the bond-length alternation of the pyrrole units in the crystal state, indicating charge and spin delocalization. The distinct upfield shift of the central carbon signal of the dication in the 13C NMR spectrum affirms the global aromaticity from the viewpoint of a magnetic criterion. In the UV-vis/NIR spectra, broad absorption in the NIR region was observed only for HPHAC2+ and not the structurally similar cyclo[6]pyrrole. Magnetic circular dichroism measurements and time-dependent density functional theory calculations revealed that the broad absorption was assigned to the CT transition from the central benzene ring to the outer pyrrole rings.

Abstract
A cyclopenta-fused macrocyclic tetraradicaloid, MC4-S, containing alternating phenanthrene (Phen) and dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (DBTh) units was synthesized and isolated in single-crystal form. Compared with its all-carbon isoelectronic structure, CPTP-M, the incorporation of two sulfur atoms leads to a smaller radical character and a larger singlet–triplet energy gap. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the spin–spin coupling through the DBTh unit is stronger than that through the Phen moiety. In addition, the electron-rich sulfur atoms also raise the energies of both the HOMO and LUMO in MC4-S, but the overall optical and electronic energy gaps are close to that of the CPTP-M. MC4-S displays global anti-aromaticity according to the NMR measurements and theoretical calculations (NICS, ACID and 2D ICSS), with a 36π ring current circuit along the all-carbon periphery excluding the two sulphur atoms. Its dication becomes globally aromatic due to the existence of a dominant 34π-conjugation pathway. This study sheds some light on the effect of heteroatoms on the electronic properties of open-shell polyradicaloids. The first member of sulfur-heterocycloarene neutral tetraradicaloids, MC4-S, was synthesized in crystalline form, which displays strong global anti-aromaticity and unique properties.![]()

Abstract
Polyradical character and global aromaticity are fundamental concepts that govern the rational design of cyclic conjugated macromolecules for optoelectronic applications. Here, we report donor-acceptor (D−A) conjugated macromolecules with and without π-spacer derivatives to tune the antiferromagnetic couplings between the unpaired electrons. The macromolecules without π-spacer have a closed-shell electronic configuration and show global nonaromatic character in the singlet and lowest triplet states. However, the derivatives with π-spacer develop a nearly pure open-shell diradical and a very high polyradical character, not reported for D−A type macromolecules. Furthermore, the π-spacer derivatives display global nonaromaticity in the singlet ground state, but global aromaticity in the lowest triplet state, according to Baird's rule. The absorption spectra of the open-shell macromolecules calculated with time-dependent density functional theory indicate intensive light absorption in the near-infrared region and broadening to 2,500 nm, making these materials suitable for numerous optoelectronic applications. Donor-acceptor macromolecules with open-shell polyradical character are reported. The antiferromagnetic coupling between the unpaired electrons is modulated with pi-spacer. The open-shell macrocycles show Baird’s aromaticity in the lowest triplet state. Open-shell macrocycles red-shift absorption spectra.

Abstract
In the last few years, air-stable organic radicals and radical polymers have attracted tremendous attention due to their outstanding performance in flexible electronic devices, including transistors, batteries, light-emitting diodes, thermoelectric and photothermal conversion devices, and among many others. The main issue of radicals from laboratory studies to real-world applications is that the number of known air-stable radicals is very limited, and the radicals that have been used as materials are even less. Here, the known and newly developed air-stable organic radicals are summarized, generalizing the way of observing air-stable radicals. The special electric and photophysical properties of organic radicals and radical polymers are interpreted, which give radicals a wide scope for various of potential applications. Finally, the exciting applications of radicals that have been achieved in flexible electronic devices are summarized. The aim herein is to highlight the recent achievements in radicals in chemistry, materials science, and flexible electronics, and further bridge the gap between these three disciplines.

Abstract
A three-dimensional π-conjugated polyradicaloid molecular cage c-Ph14, consisting of three Chichibabin's hydrocarbon motifs connected by two benzene-1,3,5-triyl bridgeheads, was synthesized. Compared with its linear model compound l-Ph4, the prism-like c-Ph14 has a more rigid structure, which shows significant impact on the molecular dynamics, stability, and electronic properties. A higher rotation energy barrier for the quinoidal biphenyl units was determined in c-Ph14 (15.64 kcal/mol) than that of l-Ph4 (11.40 kcal/mol) according to variable-temperature NMR measurements, leading to improved stability, a smaller diradical character, and an increased singlet-triplet energy gap. The pressure-dependent Raman spectroscopic studies on the rigid cage c-Ph14 revealed a quinoidal-to-aromatic transformation along the biphenyl bridges. In addition, the ellipsoidal cavity in the cage allowed selective encapsulation of fullerene C70 over C60, with an associate constant of about 1.43 × 104 M-1. Moreover, c-Ph14 and l-Ph4 exhibited similar redox behavior and their cationic species (c-Ph146+ and l-Ph42+) were obtained by chemical oxidation, and the structures were identified by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The biphenyl unit showed a twisted conformation in l-Ph42+ and remained coplanarity in c-Ph146+. Notably, molecules of c-Ph146+ form a one-dimensional columnar structure via close π-π stacking between the bridgeheads.

Abstract
Organic compounds are promising candidates as battery materials because they can be sourced from sustainable resources, have tunable structures, and are cheap. However, the working voltage of battery cells containing organic compounds as positive electrodes is relatively lower than that of those containing an inorganic counterpart. In this work, a strategy was developed to increase the discharge voltage of battery cells by diluting the electron density of N-based redox centers in conjugated organic materials. In electron-rich heterocyclic compounds that utilize N as the redox center, pentatomic rings such as carbazole derivatives exhibited a higher atomic-dipole-moment-corrected Hirshfeld charge population compared with hexatomic rings, which led to a significant increase in the oxidation potential. As a result, polymeric indolocarbazole derivatives showed a high discharge voltage of 3.7-4.3 V vs. Li+ /Li and good cycling performance. Such a strategy can be used to design high-voltage organic electrode materials containing other redox centers.

Abstract
Aromaticity is a vital concept that governs the electronic properties of π-conjugated organic molecules and has long been restricted to 2D systems. The aromaticity in 3D π-conjugated molecules has been rarely studied. Here we report a fully conjugated diradicaloid molecular cage and its global aromaticity at different oxidation states. The neutral compound has an open-shell singlet ground state with a dominant 38π monocyclic conjugation pathway and follows the [4n + 2] Hückel aromaticity rule; the dication has a triplet ground state with a dominant 36π monocyclic conjugation pathway and satisfies [4n] Baird aromaticity; the tetracation is an open-shell singlet with 52 π-electrons that are delocalized along the 3D rigid framework, showing 3D global antiaromaticity; and the hexacation possesses D3 symmetry with 50 globally delocalized π-electrons, showing [6n + 2] 3D global aromaticity. Different types of aromaticity were therefore accessed in one molecular cage platform, depending on the symmetry, number of π-electrons and spin state.

Abstract
Aromaticity is one of the most important concepts in organic chemistry to understand the electronic properties of cyclic π-conjugated molecules. Over a century, different aromaticity rules have been developed and validated. For planar monocyclic conjugated polyenes (also known as [n]annulenes), they will be aromatic if they contain [4N + 2] π electrons according to Hückel's rule, or antiaromatic if they have [4N] π electrons. Topological change from a planar to a half-twisted Möbius strip will lead to [4N] ([4N + 2]) aromaticity (antiaromaticity), which is just inverse to Hückel's rule. When the molecules are excited into the first triplet excited state, the Hückel (anti)aromaticity observed in the ground state will become reversed according to Baird's rule. Strictly speaking, these basic rules are only applicable for monocyclic conjugated systems, but some polycyclic systems such as porphyrinoids may also follow these rules if there is a dominant [n]annulene-like conjugation pathway. On the other hand, all-benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons usually display local aromaticity with π electrons predominantly localized at certain benzene rings according to Clar's aromatic sextet rule. In recent years, some proaromatic and antiaromatic molecules with even number of paired electrons have been found to exhibit open-shell diradical character and unique optical, electronic, and magnetic activities. One of the major driving forces is their intrinsic tendency to become aromatic in the open-shell diradical/polyradical forms. A number of stable diradicaloids and linear polyradicaloids have been successfully synthesized by using thermodynamic and kinetic stabilizing strategies. Herein, our particular interest is a type of macrocyclic polyradicaloid in which multiple frontier π-electrons are antiferromagnetically coupled with each other in a cyclic mode. Formally, these free electrons may behave like normal π-electrons in the [n]annulenes, and thus, it raises questions about their possible global aromaticity and which rule they will follow. In the past 5 years, our group has synthesized a series of macrocyclic polyradicaloids and systematically investigated their global aromaticity and electronic properties. Some important findings include: (1) global (anti)aromaticity is generally observed, but there is a balance between local aromaticity and global aromaticity; (2) most of these molecules follow Hückel's rule in the singlet state and display respective (anti)aromatic characteristics; (3) in some special cases, both Hückel's rule and Baird's rule can be applicable, and a unique annulene-within-an-annulene super-ring structure was demonstrated for the first time; (4) global antiaromaticity in the transition state is also important and a slow valence tautomerization process was observed in a supercyclobutadiene tetraradicaloid. These studies demonstrate how these open-shell macrocyclic polyradicaloids adapt their geometry and spin state to reach the lowest-energy state (aromatic). In this Account, we will mainly discuss their synthesis, global aromaticity, and the fundamental structure-radical character-aromaticity-properties relationships. Various experimental methods (e.g., NMR, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and electronic absorption spectroscopy) and theoretical calculations (e.g., anisotropy of the induced current density, nucleus independent chemical shift, and isochemical shielding surface) have been used to elaborate their (anti)aromatic character. At the end, a perspective on the possible three-dimensional global aromaticity in fully conjugated cagelike diradicaloids or polyradicaloids will be also discussed.

Abstract
Solution-phase synthesis of buckybowls remains a big challenge, and there are limited reports on the fragments of C70. Herein, we report a new basic subunit of C70 with C2v symmetry, the dicyclopenta[4,3,2,1- ghi:4',3',2',1'- pqr]perylene (2CP-Per). Its aryl-substituted derivative 2CP-Per-Ar was synthesized and shows a bowl-shaped geometry according to X-ray crystallographic analysis. A fast bowl-to-bowl inversion process was observed above 183 K by variable temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), with a small inversion energy barrier. 2CP-Per-Ar displays amphoteric redox behavior with a small electrochemical energy gap (1.29 eV). Different from many other aromatic buckybowls, 2CP-Per exhibits global antiaromaticity with a strong paratropic ring current associated with the 16π-electrons rim, as revealed by NMR measurements and theoretic calculations. Its dianion is aromatic, similar to its isoelectronic structure coronene. Its dication is predicted to be aromatic, with a [6]annulene-within-[14]annulene structure.

Abstract
[4]Chrysaorene, a fully conjugated carbocyclic coronoid, is shown to be a low-bandgap π-conjugated system with a distinct open-shell character. The system shows good chemical stability and can be oxidized to well-defined radical cation and dication states. The cavity of [4]chrysaorene acts as an anion receptor toward halide ions with a particular selectivity toward iodides ( Ka = 207 ± 6 M-1). The interplay between anion binding and redox chemistry is demonstrated using a 1H NMR analysis in solution. In particular, a well-resolved, paramagnetically shifted spectrum of the [4]chrysaorene radical cation is observed, providing evidence for the inner binding of the iodide. The radical cation-iodide adduct can be generated in thin solid films of [4] chrysaorene by simple exposure to diiodine vapor.

Abstract
The first class of stable two-dimensional anti-ferromagnetically coupled dendritic polyradicaloids was synthesized, which show polyradical character and unique properties.
We report the first class of stable, two-dimensional (2D) anti-ferromagnetically coupled dendritic polyradicaloids. A kinetically blocked fluorenyl radical was used to build up the first and second generation dendrons FR-G1 and FR-G2 containing three and seven fluorenyl units, respectively. The neighboring fluorenyl radicals in FR-G1 and FR-G2 show moderate anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction, resulting in a doublet and quartet ground state, respectively, with a small doublet–quartet energy gap. From FR-G1 to FR-G2, the energy gap decreased and the two-photon absorption was enhanced owing to more extended 2D π-conjugation. Both compounds showed multiple redox waves due to their polyradical character.

Abstract
The synthesis of stable open-shell singlet diradicaloids is critical for their practical material application. So far, most reported examples are based on carbon-centered radicals, which are intrinsically reactive, and there are very few examples of stable nitrogen-centered diradicaloids. In this full paper, a series of soluble and stable bis(imino)rylenes up to octarylene were synthesized on the basis of newly developed dibromorylene intermediates. It was found that from hexarylene onward, these quinoidal rylenes showed open-shell singlet ground states and could be thermally populated to paramagnetic triplet aminyl diradicals. They are stable due to efficient spin delocalization onto the rylene backbone as well as kinetic blocking of the aminyl sites by the bulky and electron-deficient 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl groups. They exhibited very different electronic structures, diradical character, excited-state dynamics, one-photon absorption, two-photon absorption, and electrochemical properties from their respective aromatic rylene counterparts. These bis(imino)rylenes represent a rare class of stable, neutral, nitrogen-centered aminyl diradicaloids.

In this Feature Article, we highlight our recent efforts toward stable open-shell singlet diradicaloids and polyradicaloids. A brief review on the historical works in the area is introduced first, followed by discussion on the fundamental electronic and physical properties of open-shell singlet diradicaloids. Then, the structure-diradical character relationships based on our recently developed diradicaloids are presented. Next, the challenges and solutions toward stable polyradicaloids and 3D π-conjugated diradicaloids are discussed. Finally, their preliminary material applications are introduced and a perspective view of the area is given.
