Resonating Valence-Bond Ground State in a Phenalenyl-Based Neutral Radical Conductor
Sushanta K. Pal,Mikhail E. Itkis,Mikhail E. Itkis,Fook S. Tham,Fook S. Tham,Robert W. Reed,Robert W. Reed,Richard T. Oakley,Richard T. Oakley,Robert C. Haddon,Robert C. Haddon +10 more
TL;DR: It is argued that these apparently contradictory properties of an organic material composed of neutral free radicals are best resolved in terms of the resonating valence-bond ground state originally suggested by Pauling, but with the modifications introduced by Anderson.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bistabilities in 1,3,2-dithiazolyl radicals.
Jaclyn L. Brusso,Owen P. Clements,Robert C. Haddon,Mikhail E. Itkis,Alicea A. Leitch,Richard T. Oakley,Robert W. Reed,John F. Richardson +7 more
TL;DR: A mechanism for the interconversion of the two phases of PDTA and related structures is proposed in which hysteretic behavior arises from cooperative effects associated with the breaking and making of a lattice-wide network of intermolecular S - - -N' and/or S- - -S' interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of N,N,N′-tris(trimethylsilyl)amidines; a convenient route to unsubstituted amidines
TL;DR: The tris(trimethylsilyl)amidines RC(NSiMe3)N(SiME3)2 (R C6H5, p-CH3C6-H4, P-MeOC6H4 and p-Me2NC6H 4 as mentioned in this paper ) are prepared by the reaction of the respective nitriles with (Me3Si)2NLi·OEt2 in ether to give intermediates RC(NLi) N(SiMe3 )2.
Journal ArticleDOI
The first phenalenyl-based neutral radical molecular conductor
X. Chi,Mikhail E. Itkis,Brian O. Patrick,Tosha M. Barclay,Robert W. Reed,Richard T. Oakley,A. W. Cordes,Robert C. Haddon +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the preparation, crystallization, and solid-state characterization of a spiro-biphenalenyl radical and show that it is monomeric in the solid state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-Dimensional Structural Motif in Thienoacene Semiconductors: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Tetrathienoanthracene Isomers
Jaclyn L. Brusso,Oliver D. Hirst,Afshin Dadvand,Srinivasan Ganesan,Fabio Cicoira,Craig M. Robertson,Richard T. Oakley,Federico Rosei,Dmitrii F. Perepichka +8 more
TL;DR: Stille coupling of 2-and 3-thiophene derivatives with tetrabromobenzene followed by oxidative cyclization provides a simple, two-step synthetic route to two isomeric tetrathienoanthracene structures (13 and 14) as discussed by the authors.
