Engineering Stable Boron-Based Diradicals with Controlled Spin Interactions (B02)

• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 551403841

Project B02 “Engineering Stable Boron-Based Diradicals with Controlled Spin Interactions” focuses on boron-based diradicals with controlled spin interactions. Diradicals based on modular and stable B-containing radical units that exhibit rich photophysics and have potential for application will be addressed. This project aims at establishing the missing links between stability, structure, spin states, and light emission of boron-based diradicals.
