Feature Article
, we highlight our recent efforts toward stable open-shell singlet diradicaloids and polyradicaloids. A brief review on the historical works in the area is introduced first, followed by discussion on the fundamental electronic and physical properties of open-shell singlet diradicaloids. Then, the structure-diradical character relationships based on our recently developed diradicaloids are presented. Next, the challenges and solutions toward stable polyradicaloids and 3D π-conjugated diradicaloids are discussed. Finally, their preliminary material applications are introduced and a perspective view of the area is given.
We highlight our recent studies on stable open-shell singlet diradicaloids and polyradicaloids, originating from Chichibabin's hydrocarbon reported 110 years ago. |

| Bibliography: | Dr Wangdong Zeng received a bachelor degree from Hunan University of Technology (2007), a master degree from Central South University (2010), and a PhD degree from National University of Singapore (2015) under the supervision of Professor Jishan Wu, where he is now a Research Fellow. His research interest is novel materials with unique electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Dr Xuefeng Lu was born in Hunan province, P. R. China, in 1986. He received a bachelor degree from Zhengzhou University in 2010, and a PhD degree from the Laboratory of Advanced Materials, Fudan University in 2015 under the supervision of Professor Gang Zhou. Then he conducted postdoctorate research with Professor Jishan Wu in the National University of Singapore. His current interest is stable polyradicaloids and novel macrocycles with unique electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Prof. Jishan Wu received BSc degree from Wuhan University (1997), MSc degree from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, CAS (with Xianhong Wang, 2000), and PhD degree from Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research (with Klaus Müllen, 2004). He conducted postdoc study with Sir J. Fraser Stoddart in UCLA and then joined the Department of Chemistry of NUS in 2007 as an assistant professor. He was promoted to an associate professor in 2012 and became a full professor in 2017. His major interests include novel π-conjugated systems and supra-molecular chemistry. He has published about 220 peer reviewed articles and received 18 awards. Dr Tullimilli Yadagiri Gopalakrishna was born in Athota village, Andhra Pradesh, India, in 1986. He completed his MSc from Acharya Nagarjuna University, India, in 2008. He received his PhD from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, India, for research on isophlorinoids with Prof. V. G. Anand in 2015. Since 2015, He has been working in the research group of Professor Jishan Wu at National University of Singapore. His research interests include design, synthesis and photophysical properties of stable organic radicals.
