Relating Radical Delocalization, Charge Transfer, and Magnetic Ground State in Acene-Derived Oxyradicals.

ABSTRACT: At the same time that our capabilities to synthesize open-shell carbon-based materials are rapidly growing with the development of on-surface synthesis under vacuum conditions, interest in π-magnetism is rising due to its excellent prospects for potential applications. As a result, increasing efforts are being focused on the detailed understanding of open-shell carbon nanostructures and all of the parameters that determine their spin densities and magnetic ground states. Here we present a facile route to synthesize different open-shell acene derivatives with closely related structures by the addition of functional groups. A systematic comparison allows us to draw conclusions on the role of the functional groups and their number and distribution, as well as on the role of the radical state
