Electronic structure of diindeno[1,2,3-cd:1′,2′,3′-lm]perylene radical anion

Abstract

The electronic structure of diindeno[1,2,3-cd:1′,2′,3′-lm]perylene (periflanthene) radical anion has been studied on the basis of the ESR, electronic absorption, and linear dichroism spectra. The observed results are interpreted in terms of the SCF MO calculations within the framework of the π-electron approximation.
