In this paper, experimental and computational investigations are combined to analyze the impact of the diradical character in the photonic and chemical properties of two tetracyano quinodimethane derivatives of phenylene-vinylenes.

Abstract

In this paper, experimental and computational investigations are combined to analyze the impact of the diradical character in the photonic and chemical properties of two tetracyano quinodimethane derivatives of phenylene-vinylenes. The photonic properties are evaluated with high-level quantum-chemical calculations and are rationalized in the context of the four-level model typical of diradical molecules, including one triplet and three singlet states, whereas the diradical extent in the ground electronic state is shown to be the driving force for the dimerization reactions. To this end DFT, CASSCF, and CASPT2//CASSCF calculations are carried out and complemented with experimental UV-vis-NIR absorption and emission measurements, as a function of the temperature along with resonance Raman spectroscopy investigations. The study of diradical molecules with enhanced chemical stability in the framework of organic electronics is an important field of research in organic π-conjugated molecules with direct applications in organic electronics.
