Molecules with Hund's rule violations between low-lying singlet and triplet states may enable a new generation of fluorescent emitters. However, only few classes molecules are known this property at the current time. Here, we use high-throughput screening algorithm FORMED database to uncover class compounds where first excited state violates rule. We examine bridged [10]- [14]annulene perimeters saturated bridges, relate them conjugated polycyclic systems violations. Despite structural similarities related nonalternant hydrocarbons, mechanism is different in these annulene perimeters. two molecular orbital configurations contribute each state. Consequently, violation can be unambiguously assigned based on symmetry lowest states. With several examples synthetically realistic molecules, [14]annulenes thus provides link alternant (azaphenalene) violating These design principles open avenues for identification types order photophysically relevant inverted.

Molecules that violate Hund's rule and exhibit an inverted gap between the lowest singlet S1 triplet T1 excited states have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in optoelectronics. Among these molecules, triangular-shaped heptazine, its derivatives, been limelight. However, conflicting reports arisen regarding relative energies of T1. Here, we employ highly accurate levels theory, such as CC3, not only resolve debate concerning sign but also quantify magnitude S1-T1 gap. We determined 0-0 evaluate significance vertical approximation. In addition, compute reference gaps for a series 10 related molecules. This enables us benchmark lower-order methods future larger systems within same family compounds. contribution can serve foundation design molecules with enhanced photophysical properties.

The ionic structure of poly(heptazine imides) has a strong implication in photocatalytic hydrogen generation. From numerous reports, it is evident that these materials are also superior to covalent carbon nitrides various organic transformations. However, the reason been remaining vague. Herein, we report design molten-salt nitride (MCN) featuring represented by negatively charged polymeric scaffold and K+ counterions application this material as photocatalyst synthesis pharmaceutically relevant fluorinated heterocycles under visible light redox neutral conditions. ions serve sites for sorption ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, while electronically excited state MCN acts single electron transfer agent, enabling generation difluoroalkyl radicals from substrate. Combination two features endows outperforms homogeneous photocatalysts nitrides. Our protocol expands compounds with complex provides fresh perspectives on factors contributing enhanced efficiency imides).

Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride semiconductors are inexpensive and reusable photocatalysts, which actively studied in organic synthesis. Successful design of photocatalytic reactions is based on the next considerations. i) Thermodynamic feasibility photoinduced processes, involve transfer electrons or electron‐proton couples. ii) Redox activity reagents. iii) Reactivity open‐shell intermediates generated from Herein, we summarize current understanding how local chemical structure graphitic nitrides their redox potentials used to reactions. This work intends serve as a guideline for materials scientists, who willing apply involving substrates, chemists, interested dive into heterogeneous photocatalysis.

Efficient OLEDs need to quickly convert singlet and triplet excitons into photons. Molecules with an inverted singlet–triplet energy gap (INVEST) are promising candidates for this task. However, typical INVEST molecules have drawbacks like too low oscillator strengths excitation energies. High-throughput screening could identify suitable molecules, but existing methods problematic: The workhorse method TD-DFT cannot reproduce inversion, while wave function-based slow. This study proposes a state-specific based on unrestricted Kohn–Sham DFT common hybrid functionals. Tuned the new INVEST15 benchmark set, achieves error of less than 1 kcal/mol, which is traced back cancellation between spin contamination dynamic correlation. Applied larger structurally diverse NAH159 set in black-box fashion, maintains small (1.2 kcal/mol) accurately predicts signs 83% cases, confirming its robustness suitability workflows.

In this work, protonated poly(heptazine imide) (H-PHI) was obtained by adding acid to the suspension of potassium PHI (K-PHI) in ethanol. It established that H-PHI demonstrates very high photocatalytic activity reaction hydrogen formation from ethanol presence Pt nanoparticles under visible light irradiation comparison with K-PHI. This enhancement can be attributed improved efficiency photogenerated charge transfer photocatalyst's surface, where redox processes occur. Various factors influencing system's were evaluated. Notably, it discovered conditions introduction into system significantly affect size (cocatalyst metal) deposition on thereby enhancing stability producing molecular hydrogen. operate efficiently air without additional components photocatalyst surface block access. Under optimal conditions, apparent quantum yield production at 410 nm is around 73%, highest reported value for carbon nitride materials date. The addition not only increases reduction part but also leads a value-added product ethanol-1,1-diethoxyethane (acetal) selectivity.

The negative energy difference between singlet and triplet excited states (ΔEST) is currently attracting significant attention; however, molecular designs remain largely confined to azaphenalene structures, as reported by Leupin Wirz in 1980. To show ΔEST, a maximally separated highest occupied orbital (HOMO) lowest unoccupied (LUMO) arrangement crucial minimizing the exchange interaction state. We revisited electronic structure of cyclazine, consisting cyclododecahexaene ([12]annulene) central nitrogen atom. 12 π-electrons peripheral cyclic oligoene play an important role achieving less overlapping HOMO LUMO arrangement, bridging atom inside produces while maintaining stable planar structure. Based on these insights, we designed set 10 molecules which number (N) 16, 20, 24, satisfying N = 4·n (n 4, 5, 6), further 11 extended 14, 18, 22, 26, + 2 3, 6). HOMO, LUMO, (K), ΔEST were calculated using configuration singles, TD-DFT, equation motion coupled-cluster singles doubles (EOM-CCSD), with optimized without any symmetry constraint. Among structures 4·n, only bond alternation exhibit small K ΔEST. In contrast, among 2, none arrangement. both no EOM-CCSD calculation. findings this study will pave way for broader exhibiting where overlap essential.
