Progress of Indeno-type Organic Diradicaloids

Abstract

Organic diradicaloids have unusual open-shell nature and properties and are promising materials for organic electronics, spintronics, energy storage and nonlinear optics. In this review, we focus on indeno-type organic diradicaloids and summarize their molecular design and synthesis, as well as topological structures, open-shell characters and diradical properties. The molecular systems are classified into indenofluorenes and diindenoacenes, indeno-based molecules with one-dimensional, two-dimensional and unique topological structures, and heterocyclic indeno-based molecules. By constructing these various topological π-skeletons with tunable conjugation modes and variation of atomic composition, their key open-shell parameters, such as diradical characters and singlet-triplet energy gaps, along with the optical, electronic and magnetic properties, as well as stabilities are efficiently modulated. More attention may be paid to accurate computational analysis, rational design and synthesis, and novel functions of indeno-type diradicaloids, which will promote the development of radical chemistry and materials.
