Abstract:

This lecture will cover the following four related parts: (a) open-shell singlet diradicaloids, in which aromaticity serves as a major driving force for the appearance of open-shell diradical character; (b) macrocyclic diradicaloids, in which both Hückel rule and Baird rule are applicable depending on the spin state; (c) 3D fully conjugated molecular cages, in which 3D global aromaticity could be attained if π electrons can fully delocalize along the skeleton of the cages, and (d) topological molecular carbons with new properties (e.g. lasing and persistent chirality).
