Abstract
Abstract The design and experimental investigations of photo-induced high-spin organic systems (the photo-excited quartet (S = 3/2) and quintet (S = 2) states) is reviewed with focusing π-conjugated organic spin systems. In order to study the photo-induced spin alignments on the excited states, the photo-excited high-spin states of π-conjugated stable radical systems and their π-topological isomers were studied by the time-resolved ESR experiments. The relationship between the π-topology and spin alignment on the photo-excited states is clarified. The mechanism of the photo-induced intramolecular spin alignment and the role of the spin polarization and spin delocalization are revealed with the help of the molecular orbital calculations. One of the key processes for the photo-control of the organic molecular magnetism is established. The guiding principle designing the photo-excited high-spin system and the role of π-topology are clarified. Potential developments toward the functional materials are also proposed utilizing the π-conjugated organic spin systems with the photo-excited high-spin states.
