Stable organic open-shell systems have attracted much attention in the field of molecule-based magnetism. We have been exploring novel stable neutral radicals based on a phenalenyl system known as an odd-alternant hydrocarbon π-radical with a highly spin-delocalized nature. Recently, we have designed and synthesized novel oxophenalenoxyl neutral radical systems possessing two oxygen atoms on the phenalenyl skeleton. These systems are unique in comprising some topological isomers depending on the positions of oxygen substituents on the phenalenyl skeleton. The isomers exhibit different topological symmetries of spin density distributions (spin topological symmetry control). In addition, two-stage one-electron reductions of these systems give the corresponding radical dianions, which show remarkably different topological symmetries of a spin-delocalized nature from those of the neutral radical systems (redox-based spin diversity). In this paper, we discuss the unique spin-delocalized nature of 3-, 4-, and 6-oxophenalenoxyl systems in view of the topological symmetry and redox ability, emphasizing the results from the radical dianion of 4-oxophenalenoxyl system from both experimental and theoretical sides.

We present a computational analysis of the asymmetry in reaction center models of photosystem I, photosystem II, and bacteria from <i>Synechococcus elongatus</i>, <i>Thermococcus vulcanus</i>, and <i>Rhodobacter sphaeroides</i>, respectively. The recently developed FDE-diab methodology [J. Chem. Phys., 148 (2018), 214104] allowed us to effectively avoid the spin-density overdelocalization error characteristic for standard Kohn–Sham Density Functional Theory and to reliably calculate spin-density distributions and electronic couplings for a number of molecular systems ranging from dimeric models in vacuum to large protein including up to about 2000 atoms. The calculated spin densities showed a good agreement with available experimental results and were used to validate reaction center models reported in the literature. We demonstrated that the applied theoretical approach is very sensitive to changes in molecular structures and relative orientation of molecules. This makes FDE-diab a valuable tool for electronic structure calculations of large photosynthetic models effectively complementing the existing experimental techniques.

Two phosphaalkene radical cations have been made by using a weakly coordinating anion, and they exhibit inverse spin density distributions.
