| BREAKING MOLECULES TO USE THEM BROKEN Juan Casado1; 1UNIVERSITY OF MáLAGA, Málaga, Spain; PAPER: 42/Nanomaterials/Regular (Oral) OS SCHEDULED: 14:50/Fri. 1 Dec. 2023/Dreams 3 ABSTRACT: π-Organic diradicals are molecules with two unpaired electrons which emerge from the total or partial rupture of a chemical bond, typically a π-double bond.1 Such unpaired electrons are stabilized by delocalization over the π-system and, to some extent, remain chemically inert. This allows the possibility to exploit these new chemical species with broken bonds in organic electronic applications.2 In this contribution, we will describe the electronic structure of such organic diradical molecules and will address the key points that allow their implementation in organic field effect transistors devices,3 in photonics, in thermoelectric or thermopower applications.4 References: 1.
