Our framework for quantifying #biradical character can resolve disputes in the literature about the biradical character of #S2N2 and #ozone. We hope this article will foster a more intuitive chemical understanding of biradical(oid)s.

Bond and Antibond Resonances: A Unified Framework for Singlet Biradical Character The electronic structure of a variety of singlet biradicaloids may be described in the Lewis picture using single antibonds as the central bonding motif. In conjunction with a consistent set of birad...

Very happy to share our latest paper in #ChemEurJ 🥳

We've analyzed the electronic structure of small inorganic singlet #biradicaloids and propose to describe the chemical bonding using single π-bonds and single π-antibonds.
