Principal singlet fission properties of twisted acenes

Chemphyschem. 2024 Apr 24:e202400128. doi: 10.1002/cphc.202400128. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcenes, especially tetracene derivatives, are used as singlet fission materials. The recent synthesis of Dodecaphenyl tetracene (showing end-to-end twist angles of 96-98 degrees) and twisted anthracene derivatives show that the synthesis of twisted linear oligoacenes is possible. Energy calculations and NICS-X-scan studies predict the twisted acenes may be better singlet fission materials compared to their planar analogues.PMID:38659320 | DOI:10.1002/cphc.202400128
