Detailed photophysical investigation of a Mn(IV)-carbene complex has revealed that excitation into its lowest-energy absorption band (∼500 nm) results in the formation of an energetic ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) state with a lifetime of 15 ns. To the best of our knowledge, this is the longest lifetime reported for charge-transfer states of first-row-based transition metal complexes in solution, barring those based on Cu, with a d configuration. A so-called superoxidant, Mn(IV)-carbene exhibits an excited state potential typically only harnessed via excited states of reactive organic radical species.

Organic polyradicals with a high-spin ground state and quantum magnetic properties suitable for spin manipulation are valuable materials for diverse innovative technologies, including quantum devices. However, the typically high reactivity and low stability of conventional polyradicals present a major obstacle to such applications. In this study, a highly stable carbon-centered triradical with a quartet ground state and excellent stability (τ of ∼90 days in air-saturated toluene at room temperature) is achieved, which shows apposite magnetic anisotropy and Zeeman splitting partition with favorable addressability.

A stable aluminum tris(dithiolene) triradical () was experimentally realized through a low-temperature reaction of the sterically demanding lithium dithiolene radical () with aluminum iodide. Compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV-vis and EPR spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry, and theoretical computations. The quartet ground state of triradical has been unambiguously confirmed by variable-temperature continuous wave EPR experiments and SQUID magnetometry.

1,3,5-Trimethylenebenzene (1,3,5-TMB), a 3-fold-symmetric triradical with a high-spin ground state, is an attractive platform for investigating the unique spin properties of π-conjugated triangular triradicals. Here, we report the on-surface synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-derived 1,3,5-TMB (N-TMB) via surface-assisted C-C and C-N coupling reactions on Au(111). The chemical and electronic structures of N-TMB on the Au(111) surface are revealed with atomic precision using scanning tunneling microscopy and noncontact atomic force microscopy, combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

This work combines for the first time ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation with a global natural orbital functional (GNOF), an approximate functional of the one-particle reduced density matrix. The most prominent feature of GNOF-AIMD is its ability to display the real-time evolution of natural orbitals, providing detailed information on the time-dependent electronic structure of complex systems and processes, including reactive collisions. The quartet ground-state reaction N(4S) + H2(1Σ) → NH(3Σ) + H(2S) is taken as a validation test.
