Abstract:
Directly linked bisporphyrin, Zn(II)2 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-(10,15,20-tris(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin-5-yl)porphyrin, was investigated on the basis of the magnetic property of its bis(pi-radical cation). A stable triplet state of the bis(pi-radical cation) of the bisporphyrin, which obeys the Curie law, was successfully observed.

π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...
