Published: August 2024

Cycloreversion of diheptacenes, the covalently bound dimers of heptacene, in the solid state produces heptacene. In addition, diheptacendiyl diradical can be detected by ESR spectroscopy. The diradical has a small singlet-triplet energy gap of -0.02 kJ mol (-4.8 × 10 kcal mol) in favor of the singlet state and is persistent in solid heptacene.
