"Stacked Antiaromatic Units Pave Way for Advanced Organic Semiconductors"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

Researchers from Ritsumeikan University and collaborators have developed a novel antiaromatic π-stacking system using NiII-coordinated norcorroles with aliphatic side chains, leading to the formation of highly conductive liquid crystals. This breakthrough could significantly advance the design of organic semiconductors and electronic devices.
