Front Cover: Intra and interatomic energy contributions in the photophysical relaxation of small aromatic molecules (ChemPhotoChem 6/2024)

Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates the photophysical relaxation mechanisms of archetypal aromatic/antiaromatic molecules, starting from low-energy excited states, and their rationalisation in terms of electronic descriptors that allow quantifying the extent to which the formation of biradicaloid structures affects the crossing of the potential energy surfaces.
