Abstract
We have prepared a series of bis(semiquinone) compounds with dithiophene bridges of different length that evolve from closed-shell (smaller compound) to full diradical (longer compound) for which the narrow singlet-triplet energy gap allows the triplet population at 298 K. The medium size system has a variety of photonic properties with absorptions and emission in the optical near-infrared region mediated by a unique case of anti-Kasha emission. A whole set of optical absorption/emission and vibrational steady state spectroscopies as well as picosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, all complemented with spectroelectrochemistry and theoretical calculations, is presented.
